CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using Certain Discontinued Qing Song Full Face Snorkel Masks Immediately Due to Risk of Serious Injury and Death from Drowning Hazard

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using certain Qing Song Full Face Snorkel Masks immediately due to risk of serious injury and death from drowning hazards. The masks, sold between January 2019 and August 2026, can cause consumers to experience labored breathing, loss of consciousness or excess fluid in the lungs that can lead to drowning. In addition, the masks can give rise to increased levels of carbon dioxide which can exacerbate the difficulty of breathing in the mask.  The masks are identifiable by the distinctive “shark fin” design on the snorkel tube. 

CPSC is aware of eight reports of incidents in which consumers experienced acute breathing difficulties, dizziness or loss of consciousness while using the masks, one of which required hospitalization.   

Shenzhen Songxin Silicone Products Co., Ltd., of China, the seller, has not agreed to an acceptable recall.    

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the full-face snorkel masks immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products.  

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 a distinctive “shark fin” feature at the top of the snorkel pipe.
