Several 1st stages made by ROMI Enterprises have been recalled.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that an internal component that seals air between the high pressure first-stage and the intermediate pressure second-stage can fail. This can result in uncontrolled flow of air to the diver and pose a risk of serious injury or death.

ROMI has received two reports of units malfunctioning during diving and six reports of units malfunctioning while being tested by dealers prior to delivery to consumers. No injuries reported.

The units are:

• Oceanic Model CDX5 - Certain serial numbers from 30202856 through 51312641
• Oceanic Model FDX10 - Certain serial numbers from 51408026 through 51411813
• Oceanic Models CDX, DXi, DX3, DX4, and TDX5 - All serial numbers
• AERIS Model AT400 - Certain serial numbers from 30200036 through 51311560
• AERIS Balanced Diaphragm - All serial numbers

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled regulator first stages and take them to any authorized Oceanic or AERIS dealer for a free replacement part.

For further information or to determine if your specific unit is affected, contact ROMI toll-free at (888) 636-9390 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
