Poseidon BeSea W50 recalled
Poseidon has recalled a batch of its BeSea W50 winged BCs for replacement.
The move has come in response to what appears to have been a "manufacturing error on the inner bladder".
The fault, says Poseidon, "causes the seam that holds the two inner bladder halves together to break, making the wing unfit as a floating device".
Units affected carry the batch number 5445, which covers BCs made from 16 September 2007 to 10 June 2008. Owners of such units should not dive again with the BC until the inner bladder has been replaced, says Poseidon.
Owners can read their unit's batch number and manufacturing year by opening the zipper between the two legs of the wing. A tab between the two legs of the exposed bladder carries the information.
Affected units should be returned to the shop from which they were bought. Alternatively, in Britain, contact Poseidon Diving Systems, 01420 84300,
