Spring breakers may be using an underwater scooter under a recall notice through Costco.

A recall notice from Sublue issued on Friday has revealed a safety concern linked to the batteries of the Sublue Mix underwater scooters made between June 2018 and March 2024. The issue involves the potential overheating and ignition of the battery pack.

To address this safety issue, Sublue has taken the initiative to launch a recall program as a precautionary measure. The company aims to replace the affected batteries with a new generation of batteries that are deemed safer, at no cost to the users.

The California-based company says device models MIXAW01, MIXAB01 and MIXSB01 are impacted by the recall.

Individuals who possess the affected products are advised to discontinue their use immediately. They are further instructed to complete a recall application and return the old batteries using the recycling packaging provided by Sublue.

The company will ship customers new batteries once the old battery is received.

It reminded its customers to not throw old batteries in the trash, or use third-party batteries as replacements for the underwater scooter. 

“Underwater scooters enable scuba divers, snorkelers, and free divers to move through the water with less energy exertion and less oxygen usage,” according to Florida-based small business Divers Direct. 

“We understand that product reliability is essential to earning your trust,” Sublue said in a statement. “We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to protect your underwater adventures with the latest technological innovations.”

Sublue’s website says the company, founded in 2013, prides itself on being “the world’s first company to launch a portable underwater scooter.”

Its products are sold globally for “people’s water-related leisure, entertainment, and sports activities.”
