DescriptionCressi Ellipse Black MC5 Regulator (for scuba diving) Product description This recall involves Ellipse Black MC5 regulators by Cressi. The regulator controls the flow of air from an oxygen tank while scuba diving, allowing divers to breathe underwater. The words "Cressi Black" and "Cressi MC5" are printed on the regulator. Hazard identified Partial obstruction of the High Pressure (HP) port can produce an inaccurate reading on the pressure gauge, as the needle in the pressure gauge may falsely indicate a higher pressure. This inaccurate reading on the gauge will leave the diver with the impression that there is more air in the tank than there actually is, thus posing a drowning hazard to divers. Cressi-sub USA has received 3 reports of inaccurate pressure gauge readings while the scuba regulators were in use, with no reported injuries. Health Canada has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these regulators. Number sold Approximately 12 of the recalled regulators were sold at two dive stores in Canada: Innerspace in Pickering, Ontario and Soulo in Valleyfield, Quebec. In the United States, approximately 200 of the recalled regulators were sold at authorized dive shops and on the internet. Time period sold The recalled products were sold from March 2009 to August 2009. Place of origin Manufactured in Italy.
