What is the hazard with Earthtec 7 3/8 Inch Pool Drain Covers?
Earthtec 7 3/8 Inch Pool Drain Covers (Shenzhen Qiangonghui Technology Co., Ltd., dba Tonyidea) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The recalled drain covers violate the entrapment protection standards of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing entrapment and drowning hazards to swimmers and bathers. 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?
Pool owners, pool operators and consumers should stop using pools with the recalled pool drain covers immediately. To receive a refund, consumers should remove the drain cover from the pool, and destroy it, take a photo of the removed cover, and send it to Tonyidea by email at earthtecrecall@outlook.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 October 2025 through April 2026 for about $15.. 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 211 units of Earthtec 7 3/8 Inch Pool Drain Covers are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
