CPSC recalls OeyUoc pool drain covers sold on Amazon over entrapment and drowning hazards
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a nationwide recall of OeyUoc pool drain covers sold exclusively through Amazon, warning that the covers pose entrapment and drowning hazards.
The agency posted the recall on July 23, 2026. It said the products also violate the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, the federal law governing certain pool and spa safety requirements.
Consumers who bought or installed the affected covers should stop using them and follow the remedy instructions listed in the recall notice, according to the CPSC.
What the recall covers
The recalled products are identified in the CPSC notice as OeyUoc pool drain covers. The approved recall information does not identify Amazon as the manufacturer. It identifies Amazon as the products’ exclusive sales channel.
That sales detail matters for consumers who purchased pool equipment online. A product bought through a major marketplace can still be subject to a federal safety recall, and buyers may need to check past orders, installation records or product packaging to determine whether a recalled item is present.
The CPSC’s announcement identifies the central safety concern as the risk of entrapment and drowning. The agency’s notice does not, in the approved material, report that these covers caused a specific drowning or injury.
Why the federal law is cited
The recall notice says the covers violate the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. The law is directly relevant to pool and spa drain safety, making the CPSC action more than a general warning about product quality.
For consumers, the immediate issue is whether a drain cover installed in a pool or spa is one of the affected OeyUoc products. Because the covers were sold to U.S. consumers through Amazon, the recall has nationwide reach rather than being limited to a single retailer location or state.
The CPSC did not provide, in the reviewed material, the number of units sold or a specific dollar value for the remedy. Those details should not be assumed when evaluating the recall or deciding what replacement or other relief may be available.
What consumers should do next
Consumers should stop using an affected cover and consult the CPSC recall notice for the listed remedy instructions. The notice is the controlling source for the steps buyers should take after identifying a recalled product.
People checking their pool equipment should avoid treating this announcement as a recall of all pool drain covers. The action concerns the OeyUoc covers identified by the CPSC. Consumers should compare the product information they have with the details in the official notice before taking further action.
The recall underscores the practical importance of checking safety notices for products purchased through online marketplaces, especially equipment connected to pools and spas. In this case, the known next step is immediate: stop using the affected covers and follow the CPSC’s remedy instructions.
The CPSC’s July 23 announcement is the verified action in the approved material. No additional deadline, injury report, death report, unit count or remedy amount was provided in the reviewed notice.
