NOTICE

The use of counterfeit parts and/or unauthorized service or repair of Kirby Morgan equipment is not only a serious safety hazard, it will also nullify any warranties and certifications.

WARNING

Counterfeits, although similar in appearances (including packaging), are not the same strength or quality. Please Do Not be fooled into thinking they are the “real thing”. Spare parts obtained from unauthorized sources may be made of inferior materials, not to specifications and poor quality that will interfere with the performance characteristics of the life support equipment and may jeopardize the diver’s safety. This can lead to improper function or failure of your Kirby Morgan® equipment, possibly causing serious injury or death!

WARNING

When purchasing helmets, masks or spare parts, always insist on Kirby Morgan genuine parts. Although other parts may look the same, they may not be manufactured to the same standards of quality. Improperly manufactured parts can cause accidents.
