Recall Summary
On July 11, 2024, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published Recall Number 24303 regarding TonGass 8-inch round pool drain covers. The recall involves approximately 1,650 units. The recalled drain covers were sold exclusively online at www.amazon.com from September 2023 through June 2024 for $23. The importer is Oneida International Ltd., doing business as TonGass, of China. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
Affected Products
The recalled product is the TonGass 8-inch round pool drain cover, Model WGX1048E and ASIN B0CBK7HQQ. The drain covers are white, made of plastic, and have two screws. They measure 7-7/8 inches in diameter. The drain covers were sold for use in swimming pools. The recall applies to all units of this model and ASIN sold during the specified period.
Hazard Information
The recalled drain covers do not conform to the entrapment protection standards of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). This non-conformance poses an entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers. The VGBA requires specific design and performance standards for pool and spa drain covers to prevent body entrapment and hair entrapment. Because the recalled covers do not meet these standards, they present a risk of entrapment, which can lead to serious injury or drowning. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumer Action Required
Pool owners, operators, and consumers should immediately stop using pools that have the recalled pool drain covers. Consumers should remove the drain cover from the pool. After removal, consumers must take a photograph of the removed drain cover. The photograph should then be sent to the recalling firm via email at tongass@126.com. TonGass is contacting all purchasers directly regarding this recall. Additionally, consumers should ensure that all pools and spas have drain covers that are compliant with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). Consumers should also teach children to stay away from pool and spa drains.
Official Remedy
The official remedy for this recall is a refund. To receive a refund, consumers must follow the steps outlined in the Consumer Action Required section: remove the drain cover from the pool, take a photo of the removed cover, and email that photo to tongass@126.com. Upon receipt and verification of the photo, the recalling firm will process the refund. No other remedy options are specified in the recall notice.
