| Hazard description | Head Oceania (trading as Apeks) is recalling these products because a manufacturing defect in the second-stage spindle assembly can restrict the flow of breathing gas at depths exceeding 45 metres. The regulator may not deliver sufficient breathing gas when required, posing a risk of inadequate air supply to the diver at depth. In an extreme situation this presents a risk of death or serious injury from asphyxiation if the regulator does not supply adequate air to a diver when used. |
| Remedy | Stop using the regulator immediately if it falls within the affected serial number range. Please return the regulator to either: The authorised Apeks dealer from whom it was purchased; or Aquatech NZ, 4 Wouldbank Way, Welcome Bay, New Zealand 3112. Include clearly your name, phone number, return shipping address and store/point of purchase details. Affected regulators will be inspected and, if necessary, repaired free of charge by qualified technicians using approved Apeks replacement components. There is no charge for the inspection, repair or shipping. |
