The first two numbers indicate the month and the second two numbers indicate the year. The recall includes date codes from October 2000 through June 2001. Valves with an asterisk below the serial number are not involved in this recall. Hazards: The overpressure valve can stick in the open position, posing a drowning hazard to divers.
