Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Tooetoy Pool Drain Covers. The drain covers do not bear the required product markings in violation of mandatory federal requirements of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing entrapment and drowning hazards to swimmers and bathers. The drain covers also fail to meet safety requirements by not stating the service life of the covers, not providing the installation and maintenance instructions and failing other requirements in the act.
CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Tooetoy, of China. Tooetoy has not responded to CPSC’s request to recall these drain covers or offer a remedy to consumers.
About 280 drain covers were sold online on Amazon from April 2025 through May 2025 for about $22. The white plastic drain covers measure 8 inches in diameter and are sold for use in swimming pools.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to immediately remove, replace and dispose of the drain covers and to stop using pools with the drain covers until the covers have been replaced. Do not sell or give away these hazardous drain covers.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
