What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with Hydromassage Rotary Jet (6 fin) in Highlife Collection spas?
Hydromassage Rotary Jet (6 fin) in Highlife Collection spas was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The hydromassage rotary jets can create a suction force that allows the user's hair to be entangled, submerging their head underwater, posing entanglement and drowning hazards to the user. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled jets and go to the firm's website http://www.hotspring.com/recalls to determine if their spa has them. If it is determined that the spa has the recalled parts, contact the firm to obtain instructions and a video that demonstrates how to turn the recalled jets off and how to install free replacement jet inserts in your spa. Consumers will need the serial number located on the front of the spa to make the determination. Sold at: Independent pool and spa dealers nationwide from October 2022 through September 2025 for between $16,000 and $24,000 (spas) and between $18 and $35 (replacement parts).. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
How many units are affected?
About About 32,900 units (In addition, about 853 were sold in Canada) units of Hydromassage Rotary Jet (6 fin) in Highlife Collection spas are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
