Recall information

[September 15, 2008]  The following recalls were issued by various federal and state agencies during the week ending Sept. 13: 

SCUBA EQUIPMENT 

Aqua Lung USA is recalling Titan DIN 1st Stage Scuba Regulators and Titan/Conshelf DIN Scuba Adaptors sold nationwide from January 1997 to September 2008. Over-tightening of the DIN retainer by a technician during installation can result in the retainer breaking under pressure, a rapid escape of air from the scuba cylinder, and the regulator detaching from the scuba cylinder. This poses a drowning hazard. 

The recalled regulators have a brass DIN retainer manufactured prior to June 2006. The recalled Aqua Lung Titan Din 1st Stage regulators have serial numbers lower than 6062501 stamped on the side of the regulator's body. Recalled Titan/Conshelf DIN adaptors are marked "300 BAR MAX" on the side of the part.. 

Consumers should return the equipment to any authorized Aqua Lung dealer for a free replacement DIN retainer. 

Consumers can also contact Aqua Lung at [phone] between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.aqualung.com. More info at www.recalls.org.

Protocol is recalling "Protocol" Remote-Controlled Mini Helicopter Toys sold nationwide from October 2007 to December 2007.  The rechargeable battery inside the helicopter can overheat.
