Poseidon Recalls Besea W50 Wings Due to Drowing Hazard
Manufacturer Poseidon of Sweden and U.S. distributors Poseidon West, of West Lake Village, Calif., Poseidon Central, of Conroe, Texas, and American Divers Division, of Alexandria Bay, N.Y., have announced a voluntary recall of defective Poseidon Besea W50 Diving Wings.
The inner bladder located inside the diving wing can break, causing the wing to fail to operate as a floating/buoyancy device, which poses a drowning hazard to the user. Poseidon has received 15 reports of inner bladders breaking. No injuries have been reported.
The recall affects the following Poseidon Besea W50 Diving Wings: that contain inner bladders with batch number 5445. The inner bladder is located inside the outer cover of the wing. The batch number and “Poseidon” are molded on a tab located between the “legs” of the inner bladder. The device was sold through Poseidon dealers nationwide from September 2007 through June 2008 for about $366.
If you have Poseidon wings that contain the recalled inner bladders then contact Poseidon for a free replacement.
