This case came as a shock to people who relied on buoyancy control devices for their lives. For instance, police divers or commercial divers. This story involves a recall of these devices, because it was discovered that they posed a serious risk for drowning \u2013 the exact opposite result of what they were designed and made to do.<\/p>\n
This recall, one among hundreds of other recalls for defective products, was launched when it was revealed that the spring in the over pressure valve could corrode and break. This means the device would then not hold air, and has the potential to drown the wearer. This product recall involved the Edge Freedom and Stealth models, as well as the HOG 32 lb Wing model.<\/p>\n
