TopHomer recalls 8-inch pool drain covers over entrapment and drowning risk

The drain covers do not meet the entrapment protection standards of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, so swimmers and bathers could become trapped and drown.

What to do

Stop using pools with these drain covers right away, then remove the cover, photograph it and email the photo to Tophomer.recall@outlook.com for a refund. Make sure all pools and spas have VGBA-compliant drain covers and teach children to stay away from drains.
