BCD recalled over leakage risk

“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,” states the company.

“If this were to occur in the water, it could lead to a leak of the BC contents out of the oral mouthpiece.”

Owners of WTX BCDs are advised not to dive with their unit until it has been inspected by an authorised Apeks dealer.
