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.
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.
Pool owners/operators and consumers should immediately stop using pools with the recalled pool drain covers. To receive a refund, consumers should remove the drain cover from the pool, take a photo, and send it to the recalling firm by email at tongass@126.com. Ensure all pools and spas have Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA) compliant drain covers, and teach children to stay away from drains. TonGass is contacting all purchasers directly.
