Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Crane Plumbing Recalls Bath Tubs With A Whirlpool Due to Entrapment and Drowning Hazards

The hazard

The drain covers in the tubs can entangle a bather's hair in the openings, causing the bather's head to be held under water, which can result in drowning.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tubs. Consumers can contact Crane for additional identification information on affected tubs. Consumers who have the recalled tub have two options: Contact Crane directly to arrange for a service agent to perform a free, in-person replacement in their home or facility; or Consumers can choose to replace the part themselves and Crane will provide them with a free repair kit and directions.
