Wadoy pool and spa drain covers recalled for entrapment hazard

Find4Fix has recalled about 5,500 Wadoy eight-inch pool and spa drain covers sold on Amazon from August 2019 through June 2022 because they do not meet Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act entrapment protection standards.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This is a High severity recall because the hazard involves entrapment risk to swimmers in a high-risk pool/spa environment where serious injury or death could occur, even though no injuries have been reported. The product violates a mandatory federal safety standard (Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act) designed to prevent entrapment-related fatalities.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves Wadoy eight-inch pool main drain covers with screws and two-pack versions sold exclusively on Amazon.com. The products are white and made of ABS plastic. The recalled drain covers were distributed from August 2019 through June 2022, with single covers priced at about $12 and two-pack versions at about $22.

The drain covers do not conform to entrapment protection standards required by the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing an entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers. No injuries have been reported.

Pool owners, operators, and consumers should immediately stop using pools and spas with the recalled drain covers. Consumers should remove the drain cover from the pool or spa, submit a photo as proof of removal to Find4Fix at [email protected], and dispose of the cover after submitting proof. Find4Fix is offering a full refund and is contacting all purchasers directly.
