Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Amber Brook pool drain covers. The drain covers do not bear the required product markings in violation of the mandatory safety standard under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing entrapment and drowning hazards. 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, guangzhouruienlinmaoyiyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as, Amber Brook. Amber Brook has not agreed to recall these swimming pool drain covers or offer a remedy to consumers.
The swimming pool drain covers were sold online at Walmart.com from August 2025 through November 2025 for about $22. The swimming pool drain covers may also have been sold on other platforms and by other third-party sellers.
The round main drain covers with two screws measure 8.3 inches in diameter and have a 2-inch water inlet and outlet. They are white and made of ABS plastic.
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. Ensure all pools and spas have VGBA-compliant drain covers and teach children to stay away from drains.

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.
