EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI/AP) — Huish Outdoors is recalling scuba diving regulators due to a potential drowning hazard.

According to the Consumer, Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the regulators can restrict airflow at low tank pressures (below 500 psi), which poses a drowning hazard to divers who use them.

Approximately 4,500 regulators are affected by the recall. The device attaches to a scuba diver's oxygen tank valve and controls the pressure of the air a diver breathes in underwater.

The serial number is located on the first stage body, with part numbers and packaging numbers printed on the packaging only.

The regulators were sold at scuba diving equipment stores nationwide from October 2017 through June 2018 for between $240 and $350 for a first stage regulator and between $400 and $650 as part of a complete first and second stage regulator.

Consumers who have purchased this product should immediately stop using it and contact an Oceanic or Hollis dealer for a free repair. So far, no injuries or drownings because of the recalled product have been reported.

Anyone with questions on the recall can contact Huish Outdoors toll-free at 888-270-8595 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday or online on the Oceanic Worldwide or Hollis websites.

Toyota's Lexus luxury brand is recalling about 121,000 cars worldwide because of fuel leaks in the engine that can cause fires.

The recall covers certain 2006 through 2013 IS350 cars, as well as the 2010 through 2014 IS350C, and the 2007 through 2011 GS350 and GS450h. All have 3.5-liter V6 gasoline engines.

Toyota says a diaphragm material in the fuel injection system can harden over time and crack, allowing fuel to leak. The company would not say if the problem has caused any fires, crashes or injuries.

Most of the recalled cars are in the United States.

Dealers will replace the fuel delivery pipe with a new one containing improved parts at no cost to customers.

Owners will be notified by mail starting in early August.
