| Product Safety Recall July 05, 2003 SMB OPV | |||||
OMS announces recall of Surface Marker Buoys (SMB'S) and Lift Bags.
Ocean Management Systems, Inc. (OMS) of Middletown, NY, is recalling approximately (287) Surface Marker Buoys and (77) Lift Bags sold from March 03, 2003 to June 20, 2003 due to malfunctioning Overpressure (OPV) Valves. Molding variations in the male threaded component of the overpressure valve (OPV) used in both OMS Surface Marker buoys (SMB) and OMS Lift Bags, could cause the pull dump part (female threaded part) of the OPV to separate from the male threaded portion of the (OPV). This could cause deflation of the Surface Marker Buoy and lift bags. Both the SMB's and Lift bags are not personal flotation devices and OMS has not had any reports of injuries due to this malfunction. It is very easy to determine what Surface Marker Buoys and Lift bags are suspect.
