The in El Cajon, California based company is recalling its Scubapro Aladin 2 wrist dive computer which monitors depth, dive time, decompression status and temperature, the commission said in a statement.

The company, a unit of Johnson Outdoors Inc, has already received four reports that the dive computers leaked and stopped working. The device’s failure can pose a risk of injury through decompression sickness. No injuries have been reported so far.
