Description
This recall involves Santa Cruz Jr. single paned, tempered glass youth snorkeling masks sold under the U.S. Divers and Aqua Lung Sport brands. The masks were sold individually, with a snorkel or as a set with snorkel and fins. The U.S. Divers logo or Aqua Lung Sport logo is on the top of the mask as well as inset on the tempered glass lens. The tempered glass lens is also labeled as tempered. This recall affects all Santa Cruz Jr. Youth Masks manufactured before October 2011. Masks manufactured before October 2011 do not have a production code on the edge of the frame, near the nose pocket.
Hazard
Notches in the tempered glass can cause the lens to break under certain water pressure, posing a laceration hazard to the user.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled masks and contact U.S. Divers for a replacement mask.
Incidents and injuries
The firm has received nine reports of the lens cracking or breaking, including three reports of the minor cuts and scratches to the face.
