Mansfield Plumbing Products is recalling about 100 acrylic bathtubs, whirlpools, and air massage baths because the attached grab bars can loosen and break during use. The recall includes ten different model names: Avalon, Barrett, Baywood, Brentwood, Camden, Castille, Covington, Hampton, Montclair, and Reo. These units were sold nationwide between May 2011 and July 2011 for prices ranging from $1,800 to $5,000. Consumers should stop using the grab bars for support and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit.
The grab bars can fail or detach when weight is applied, posing a fall hazard. There have been 11 reports of the bars breaking, including one incident where a consumer fell and suffered a bruised tailbone.
Consumers should immediately contact Mansfield Plumbing to request a free grab bar repair kit.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
