Gentlemen,
I do not know if this spurred the scuba pro discussion a week and a half a go, but here it is again... I received this in my internet mail yesterday.
The recall is for Scuba Pro regs that were manufactured between 1996 and 2001.
I have also attached the US government's link at the bottom of the recall and it contains photos as well.
Safe travels to all of you.

SCUBA-PRO RECALL
Danger in over 48,500 Scubapro MK20 First Stages:
In early October, Scubapro and the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission issued a recall of Scubapro
MK20 first stage regulators. If someone servicing the
regulator over-tightens the yoke or DIN retainer, it could
cause a stress crack that might ultimately interrupt air
supply. Divers should stop using the regulators and take
them to any Scubapro dealer, where, for no charge, the
retainer will be modified to prohibit over-tightening. This
recall comes more than 16 months after Undercurrent
first reported the problem. For information:
