Which ones does it cover?
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using OUSPT Full-Face Snorkel Masks immediately due to risk of serious injury and death from drowning hazards. The mask can cause consumers to experience labored breathing, causing loss of consciousness or excess fluid in the lungs that can lead to drowning. In addition, the mask can give rise to increased levels of carbon dioxide which can exacerbate the difficulty of breathing in the mask. Field Life, of China, the seller, has not responded to CPSC’s requests for information or to recall the product. CPSC has received reports from five consumers who had trouble breathing, felt light-headed or lost consciousness while using the product. There has been one lawsuit alleging that the product caused a drowning fatality. About 84,000 of these full-face snorkel masks were sold from March 2019 through February 2026 on Amazon.com. The full-face snorkel masks have a glass screen and a breathing apparatus that covers the mouth and nose, with a snorkel pipe at the top center of the product. They come in various colors. The masks have “OUSPT” printed on the snorkel tube. These products are manufactured in China. CPSC urges consumers to stop using the full-face snorkel masks and immediately dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous full-face snorkel masks. Report any incidents involving injury or product defect to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov.
