Revised Safety Recall Notice Metric RDP Recall Expanded, 14 February 2003

PADI is recalling six versions of the Recreational Dive Planner used for calculating dive profiles. Errors by the printer caused inaccurate or missing numbers on these tables. The risk of injury from these errors is remote and no injuries have been reported. PADI initiated the recall to PADI Americas and PADI Canada members last week but today, erring on the side of caution, has decided to expand the recall to PADI territories worldwide. All RDPs included in this recall bear the printing mark "printed in the USA," located on the back side upper right corner and a production code similar to the ones listed below. Only the tables with the following production codes are included in this recall. In addition, if the dive table does not contain a production code it is not included in this recall.

The product number and production code is generally located at the bottom right corner on the back side of the table. The product number and production code consist of a series of numbers and letters resembling Product No. 60049 XXXPDJ2. The product number and production code may be transposed on some tables. In checking the following production codes on your tables, ignore the first three digits and only check the last four.
