Check the weather-proof label on the top of the unit for serial numbers starting with 061040994 through 081040667. The product is a black plastic device that screws into the drain hole of a pool or spa circulation pump.
Immediately stop using the pool or spa vacuum release system if it has the recalled serial numbers.
