DRAIN COVER RECALL !
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with certain drain cover manufacturers, announced a voluntary recall of a limited number of drain covers manufactured and installed in public and residential inground pools and inground spas after December 2008. The recalled drain covers were incorrectly rated by independent third party laboratories to handle the flow of water through the cover as specified by VGBA.
Drain cover manufacturers are cooperating fully with the CPSC in this voluntary recall. To help consumers find out if they are affected, we have provided a website, apsp.org/draincoverrecall and drain cover manufacturers have set up a hotline, 866-478-3521 to answer questions. For a complete list of drain cover manufacturers affected by the recall visit,CPSC.gov.
This is a limited recall. The vast majority of inground pools and inground spas are not affected by the recall. Only certain drain covers manufactured and installed AFTER December 2008 are subject to the recall. Except for kiddie/wading pools and in-ground spas, retrofit or replacement of installed covers is not required in pools with multiple drain systems or gravity drainage systems or for covers installed before December 19, 2008. Frequently asked questions (FAQs) for both consumers and professionals are provided at apsp.org/draincoverrecall.
