What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with HydroTech 5/8-inch Expandable Burst-Proof Hoses?
HydroTech 5/8-inch Expandable Burst-Proof Hoses was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. The recalled hoses can burst, posing an impact hazard and a risk of temporarily impaired hearing. 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 hoses. Consumers that purchased products from Ace Hardware, Do It Best, Home Depot or Walmart should bring their hoses to those stores to return them for a full refund. Consumers who purchased products from other retailers should cut off the regulator-end of their hose and contact Winston Products for a full refund. To receive the refund, consumers should submit photos of the cut hose, showing the date code location with the consumer's initials and the date written in permanent marker on the regulator, to Winston Product's online form at https://hydrotechproducts.com/recall. Sold at: Ace Hardware, Amazon, Do It Best, Home Depot, Target, Walmart and other stores nationwide and online from January 2021 through April 2025 for between $20 and $136.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
