SCUBAPRO Monorail Weight Pockets for BCDs

The D-ring handle that is used to unlock the weight pocket from the Buoyancy Compensator Device (BCD) can detach during use.

What happened

Johnson Outdoors Diving LLC d/b/a SCUBAPRO, of Racine, Wisconsin, is recalling about 2,800 SCUBAPRO Monorail Weight Pockets for Buoyancy Compensator Devices (BCDs), in addition to about 40 sold in Canada. The D-ring handle that is used to unlock the weight pocket from the BCD can detach during use.

If this happens, the user will not be able to remove the weight pocket in an emergency, in order to rise to the surface, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a drowning hazard. The firm has received two reports of the D-ring handle detaching. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled Monorail Weight Pocket is an accessory designed to attach to a Scuba Diving BCD. It has a black base and a fabric pouch sold in multiple colors with a gray plastic D-ring handle. It was sold in standard and mini sizes and eight colors, including black, blue, green, orange, pink, teal, white and yellow.

The standard size is about 10.75 inches long by 3.75 inches wide by 2 inches deep and weighs about 9.6 ounces. The product was imported from South Africa and sold at specialty dive shops nationwide and online at Scubapro.com and other authorized online retailers from November 2025 through February 2026 for about $200.

The remedy offered is repair.
