Plain-English summary
Houoto 642-2150V Pool Drain Covers, measuring 7-5/8 inches in diameter with 7-inch screw hole spacing, are being recalled. About 595 units were sold through Amazon.com from January through May 2026 for approximately $18 each.
The drain covers do not bear the required product markings and fail to include statements regarding service life, installation, and maintenance instructions, all required by the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). These violations create a risk of serious injury or death from drowning and entrapment hazards.
Consumers who purchased these drain covers should stop using them immediately. To receive a refund, remove the drain cover from the pool, destroy or render it unusable, write 'Recalled' in permanent marker on the cover, and send a photo to [email protected]. All pools and spas should use VGBA-compliant drain covers, and children should be taught to stay away from pool drains.
