Waterway Plastics Recalls Spa Drain Suction Covers Due to Risk of Entrapment

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Waterway Plastics is recalling about 26,000 Designer Pro Series suction covers used in various spas. The drain covers can become detached from the spa wall, which poses a serious risk of body parts becoming trapped by the suction. These round black and silver covers were installed in spas manufactured by Catalina Spas, Four Winds Spas, Dimension One Spas, and Sunrise Spas between June 2011 and June 2013. While 70 reports of covers detaching have been received, no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using affected spas immediately and contact Waterway Plastics for a free replacement cover.

Risk

If the suction cover detaches from the spa wall, the powerful vacuum force of the drain can trap a person's hair or body against the opening. This entrapment can lead to serious injury or drowning.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your spa is affected by checking for 'Designer Pro Series' suction covers with model number 640-52XX S printed on the top outside edge of the plastic cover.
