The drain covers violate the mandatory safety standard under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA) because they do not bear the required product markings, posing entrapment and drowning hazards. The drain covers also violate the safety requirements by not stating the service life of the covers, installation instructions and maintenance instructions.
CPSC urges consumers to remove, replace and dispose of the drain covers immediately and stop using pools with the drain covers until the covers have been replaced. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products. 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.
