Paramount recalls MDX pool drain covers (sold after Dec 2008) due to incorrect water flow ratings that may entrap swimmers. Affected owners should contact Paramount for a replacement.
The recalled drain covers were incorrectly rated to handle the flow of water through the cover, which could pose a possible entrapment hazard to swimmers and bathers.
Paramount is recalling certain pool drain covers (Model MDX) because they were incorrectly rated for water flow. This could entrap swimmers, so affected owners should get a replacement cover immediately.
The drain covers were rated incorrectly for water flow, meaning they might not handle the water pressure properly. This could cause the cover to become stuck or entrap a swimmer, especially if water flows through it.
Pool owners and spa users who have the MDX drain covers (sold after December 18, 2008) are affected. Swimmers and bathers are at risk of entrapment if the cover fails.
Check for the MDX logo, a maximum flow rating of 64 GPM, ASME A112.19.8 - 2007, VGB 2008, and the USPC Shield on the cover. These covers were sold after December 18, 2008.
Pool owners and spa users with the recalled MDX drain covers should contact Paramount to receive a replacement cover.
Pool owners/operators and consumers who have one of the recalled pool or spa drain covers should immediately contact Paramount to receive a replacement cover.
