Eight Manufacturers Recall Pool and In-Ground Spa Drain Covers Due to Incorrect Ratings

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

Recalled product: Eight Manufacturers Recall Pool and In-Ground Spa Drain Covers Due to Incorrect Ratings

The hazard

The recalled drain covers were incorrectly rated to handle the flow of water through the cover, which could pose a possible entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers.

What to do

Pool owners/operators and consumers who have one of the recalled pool or spa drain covers should immediately contact the manufacturer to receive a replacement or retrofit, depending on their make and model. Except for kiddie pools, wading pools and in-ground spas, retrofit or replacement of installed covers are not required in pools with multiple drain systems or gravity drainage systems or for covers installed before December 19, 2008.
