Diving Inflation Valves Recalled Due to Risk of Hypothermia; Manufactured by SI TECH

This recall involves the Shell Inflation Valves with Int'l Nipples that come with diving dry suits and are also sold separately.

The model number and batch code are stamped on the inside of the recalled valve. Instructions on how to find and identify the batch code can be found at www.sitech.se.
