--part1_6d.10a51e5d.27dedeaa_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From the 3/12/2001 Undercurrent Online edition: ================== Atomic Recall ================== The possibility of a failing first stage spring has prompted regulator manufacturer Atomic Aquatics to announce a voluntary recall of all models. Atomic President Dean Garraffa, told "Undercurrent" that although there had been no reported incidents of in water failure or diver injury, three regulators undergoing routine servicing were discovered to have cracked springs. The company contacted the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission for advice in launching the recall, which covers about 3,500 T1, B1 & Z1 regulators manufactured between May 11, 1999 and October 27, 1999 and 10-27-99, and carrying serial numbers A07751-A11276. Owners may determine the serial number of their regulator by removing the mouthpiece. The number is prominently displayed on the top of the second stage body where the piece attaches. Regulators falling within the recall range may be returned to the nearest dealer for free replacement of the spring. Alternatively, the owner may call Atomic at 1-888-270-8595 to arrange for factory servicing. Jeff Allen, a senior technician at Atomic, told "Undercurrent" that the company will cover shipping charges in both directions. He additionally indicated that they are currently running turn-around times of 1-3 days. --part1_6d.10a51e5d.27dedeaa_boundary Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT COLOR="#800040" SIZE=2 FAMILY="SCRIPT" FACE="Comic Sans MS" LANG="0">From the 3/12/2001 Undercurrent Online edition: <BR> <BR>================== <BR>Atomic Recall <BR>================== <BR>The possibility of a failing first stage spring has prompted <BR>regulator manufacturer Atomic Aquatics to announce a voluntary <BR>recall of all models.
