Pool and Spa Drain Covers Recalled for Entrapment Hazard

Angzhili pool and spa drain covers do not meet the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act entrapment protection standards, posing a risk to swimmers and bathers. About 1,000 units sold on Amazon from June 2021 through June 2022 are affected.

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-risk product where entrapment hazards can cause serious injury or death to swimmers, especially children. The source explicitly states no illnesses or injuries reported, so the hazard is theoretical; per the rubric, this justifies a score of 3 (High) rather than higher.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled approximately 1,000 pool and spa drain covers manufactured by Angzhili, of China. These white ABS plastic 8-inch drain covers were sold exclusively on Amazon.com from June 2021 through June 2022 for approximately $12 each.

The recalled drain covers do not conform to the entrapment protection standards of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). This non-compliance creates an entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers.

No injuries or illnesses have been reported. Pool owners and operators should immediately stop using pools and spas with these recalled drain covers. Consumers should remove the drain cover and submit a photo to Angzhili at [email protected] as proof of removal to receive a full refund, then dispose of the cover. Angzhili is contacting all purchasers directly.
