Apeks has recalled its WTX BCD after a problem with the oral inflate button. A case of the button working itself loose has prompted the company to ask divers with the BCD to get it inspected.
In a statement, Apeks said: 'If the button were to come off, the spring behind the button would also come off thereby removing the tension needed to keep the valve closed. If this were to occur in the water, it could lead to a leak of the BC contents out of the oral mouthpiece.
'Do not dive with WTX BCD until it has been inspected by an authorised Apeks dealer. If you require any further information please contact Apeks customer service department.
'Apeks/Aqualung apologises for any inconvenience this may cause. We are dedicated to making the world's best diving products and ensuring diver safety at all costs.'
