Konsumentverket varnar för en misstänkt farlig BCD-väst av märket Aquatec

Aquatec Innovator

I ett meddelande varnar nu Konsumentverket för en misstänkt farlig BCD. Produkten kommer från Taiwan med märket "Aquatec Innovator BCD". En utredning om produkten pågår i Nya Zeeland efter att man upptäckt att västens inflator riskerar att lossna.

Dear Contact Points,
We would like to draw your attention to the product safety issue posed by buoyancy compensator (BCD) used by scuba divers to control the depth. This product, manufactured in Taiwan and marketed under the brand "Aquatec Innovator", is currently investigated by the Ministry of Consumer Affaires in New Zeland. Please find attached two pictures of this product.

According to the authorities the product poses a risk of drowning because the plastic valves may crack and shatter around the flange with which they are attached to the bladder of the BCD. Thus, the bladder would no longer hold air and the diver may sink and find it difficult to reach the surface.

Therefore, we would like to ask all Member States if this product is sold in your country and to inform us of the results of your investigation.

Thank you for your cooperation.
Kind regards,
The Commission RAPEX Team
