Pool and Spa Drain Cover Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of approximately one million pool and in-ground spa drain covers. The spa and pool drain cover recall was issued because the covers were incorrectly rated to handle the flow of water through the cover and may pose an entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers. The CPSC has urged public pools with affected covers to close until the covers can be replaced, while private pool owners are advised to contact the manufacturer of their drain covers.

Eight manufacturers were implicated in the spa and pool drain cover recall, including:

• A&A Manufacturing of Phoenix
