Spa hydromassage jets recalled over hair entanglement and drowning hazards

Plain-English summary

This CPSC recall involves hydromassage rotary jets (6 fin) in Highlife Collection spas, also sold as replacement parts. The record lists eight models in the collection: Grandee, Envoy, Vanguard, Aria, Prodigy, Sovereign, Jetsetter and Jetsetter LX, and states the recalled jets are found in model year 2023, 2024 and 2025 spas.

The record states the hydromassage rotary jets can create a suction force that allows the user's hair to be entangled, submerging their head underwater, posing entanglement and drowning hazards. The firm has received one report of a consumer whose hair was entangled in the jets, and no injuries have been reported.

The record lists about 32,900 units affected, and states that in addition about 853 were sold in Canada. They were sold at independent pool and spa dealers nationwide from October 2022 through September 2025 for between $16,000 and $24,000 for spas and between $18 and $35 for replacement parts.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jets and use the firm's recall website to determine whether their spa has them, using the serial number on the front of the spa. The record states that if the spa has the recalled parts, consumers should contact the firm for instructions and a video showing how to turn the jets off and install free replacement jet inserts.
