WARNING
In buoyancy devices equipped with CO
2
(carbon dioxide) detonators, the possibility
exists under a certain set of circumstances that CO
2
could be inhaled from the device.
If CO
2
has been detonated, do not depress the deation button with the unit in the
mouth or attempt to further inate the device orally. Doing so would release CO
2
into
the mouth, and it could possibly be inhaled. Flush the buoyancy device thoroughly
with air or fresh water before reuse; the presence of CO
2
from a detonated cartridge
should be readily noticeable because it is distastefully avored and odored.
