Additional information:
Health Canada/Santé Canada (“HCSC”) reports this recall involves Santa Cruz Jr. single paned, tempered glass Youth Snorkelling Masks sold under the US Divers and Aqua Lung Sport brands. The masks were sold individually, with a snorkel or as a set with snorkel and fins. The US 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 labelled as tempered.
According to HCSC, this recall affects all Santa Cruz Jr. Youth Masks manufactured before October 2011. HCSC says notches in the tempered glass can cause the lens of the Youth Snorkelling Mask to break under certain water pressures, posing a laceration hazard to the user. Aqua Lung Inc. has received nine reports of incidents related to the use of this product in the United States.
