What is the hazard with Houoto 642-2150V Pool Drain Covers?
Houoto 642-2150V Pool Drain Covers (Foshan Nanhai District Haichen Tengfei Hardware Factory, of China) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The drain covers do not bear the required product markings, in violation of the mandatory safety standard under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing risk of serious injury or death from entrapment and drowning hazards. The drain covers also fail to meet safety requirements because they are missing statements regarding the service life of the covers and installation and maintenance instructions. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.
What should you do if you own this product?
Pool owners, pool operators and consumers should stop using pools with the recalled pool drain covers immediately. To receive a refund, consumers will be asked to remove the drain cover from the pool, destroy or otherwise render the drain cover unusable, write in permanent maker "Recalled" on the removed cover, and send a photo of the marked cover to houoto@163.com. Ensure all pools and spas have VGBA-compliant drain covers and teach children to stay away from drains. Sold at: Online at Amazon.com from January 2026 through May 2026 for about $18.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
