DUI Weight & Trim System Classic and System II, Diving Weight Harness, RECALLED!

http://wemakeitsafer.com/DUI-Weight-Trim-System-Classic-and-System-II-Diving-Weight-Harness-Recall-290886-675709#RecalledProductInformation

What is the problem?

Manufacturing defects in the lanyard connecting the handle to the pocket or the cable securing the pocket to the harness can prevent the weight pockets from easily detaching from the harness and releasing the weights when the handle is pulled. This poses a drowning hazard to consumers.

How can I tell if I own this product?

The weight harnesses are made of heavyweight nylon and are black in color with gray handles. The DUI logo appears on the pockets. The Weight & Trim System Classic has two small weight pockets on each side. The Weight & Trim System II has one large weight pocket on each side. Systems with large silver stripes on the sides have been inspected or repaired and are not affected by this recall.
