What's being recalled
Santa Cruz Jr. Youth Snorkeling Masks
Units: About 130,000 units
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.
The problem, in CPSC's words
Notches in the tempered glass can cause the lens to break under certain water pressure, posing a laceration hazard to the user.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
The firm has received nine reports of the lens cracking or breaking, including three reports of the minor cuts and scratches to the face.
What CPSC says to do
Replace
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled masks and contact U.S. Divers for a replacement mask.
