Counterfeit Kirby Morgan® 28 BandMasks®

Subject: DANGER & fraud posed to users of counterfeit KMB 28 BandMask® with counterfeit 455 regulator.

Kirby Morgan Dive Systems Inc.,® (KMDSI) has received a counterfeit KMB 28 that is solicited as a Genuine Kirby Morgan product.

KMDSI has inspected and conducted laboratory and man testing on the counterfeit KMB 28 with findings that are well below the KMDSI standard for safety.

Bulletin #5 of 2018

The counterfeit KMB 28 BandMask® VISUALLY APPEARS to be the same as a genuine KMB 28, but looks are deceiving.

Man testing has proved that the counterfeit KMB 28 has SEVERE breathing limitations once it is in the water. This causes KMDSI concern that use could lead to serious injury or death.
