The Hazard
ENTRAPMENT AND DROWNING
Yeeluzan pool drain covers are being recalled because they don’t meet safety standards. These drain covers can create a strong suction, which could trap a swimmer underwater. This poses a serious risk of injury or even death by drowning. Stop using pools with these drain covers immediately!
About 640 units are affected. No injuries have been reported.
Technical Breakdown
The recalled pool drain covers don’t meet the safety requirements of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). This law is in place to prevent swimmers from getting trapped by pool drains. The design of these covers can allow a dangerous suction force to develop, potentially holding a person underwater against the drain.
The VGBA requires that pool drains have specific features to prevent entrapment. These features include designs that reduce suction and prevent body parts from being blocked against the drain. Because these drain covers don’t meet these standards, they create a significant risk to swimmers, especially children.
