Summary

This recall involves about 1,650 TonGass 8-inch round pool drain covers with model number WGX1048E. The drain covers do not meet the entrapment protection standards of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), which can lead to swimmers becoming trapped underwater by suction. No injuries or incidents have been reported. Consumers can receive a full refund by removing the cover and sending a photo of it to the manufacturer.

Risk

The drain covers fail to meet safety standards intended to prevent suction entrapment. This poses a serious risk where swimmers or bathers could be trapped against the drain, potentially leading to drowning.

  2. Immediately stop using any swimming pools that have these recalled drain covers installed.
  3. Remove the drain cover from the pool, take a clear photo of the removed product, and email the photo to TonGass at tongass@126.com to request a full refund.
