The Hazard
DROWNING
These pool drain covers don’t meet safety standards and could trap someone underwater. This could lead to serious injury or even death by drowning. The drain covers violate the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), which sets rules to prevent these kinds of accidents.
About 480 units are affected. No injuries have been reported.
Technical Breakdown
The recalled Muscccm pool drain covers fail to meet the entrapment protection standards outlined in the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). This act was put in place to reduce the risk of drain entrapment incidents in pools and spas. These incidents can occur when a person’s body or clothing becomes suctioned to a drain, preventing them from surfacing for air.
The design of the recalled drain covers does not adequately prevent this dangerous suction effect. When a swimmer gets too close, the suction force could be strong enough to hold them against the drain, making it impossible to escape. The lack of proper safety features means these drain covers pose a significant and immediate risk of entrapment and drowning.
