Up to one million pools and spas could be affected.\u00a0\u201cThe recalled drain covers were incorrectly rated to handle the flow of water \u2026 which could pose a possible entrapment hazard,\u201d stated the press release from the CPSC. In cases where retrofit or replacement drain covers are necessary, the manufacturer will be responsible for paying for parts and labor. Pools needing a replacement should be shut down until arrangements can be made to correct the faulty drain covers.
