SCUBAPRO Recalls 2,800 Monorail Weight Pockets Over Drowning Risk
The D-ring handle on SCUBAPRO Monorail Weight Pockets can detach during use, preventing emergency weight release. Two incidents reported, no injuries. Free repair offered.
SCUBAPRO has issued a recall affecting approximately 2,800 Monorail Weight Pockets for buoyancy compensator devices (BCDs), according to an April 9, 2026 notice from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recalled weight pockets have a defect where the D-ring handle that unlocks the pocket from the BCD can detach during use. If the handle separates, a diver cannot quickly release the weight pocket in an emergency — a potentially life-threatening situation that could prevent ascent to the surface.
SCUBAPRO has received two reports of D-ring handles detaching during use. No injuries have been reported.
The affected products were sold between November 2025 and February 2026 at approximately $200 through specialty dive shops and authorized online retailers including Scubapro.com. The weight pockets feature a black base with a fabric pouch available in multiple colors and a gray plastic D-ring handle.
Divers who own the affected product should immediately stop using it and register at scubapro.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/recalls for a free repair at an authorized dealer or a prepaid shipping label for return and repair. SCUBAPRO customer service can be reached at 800-790-3757 or mwpockets@scubapro.com.
