What’s the Problem?
Legal claims center a July 2, 2025 recall by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) of approximately 500 Jeriflyer 8‑inch pool drain covers sold by Junjuanshop on Amazon.
These covers do not meet the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act’s entrapment protection standards, creating a serious risk of swimmers, especially children, being trapped by suction forces at pool drains. No injuries have yet been reported, but the hazard is deemed life-threatening.

Regulatory Violations & Hazard Analysis
The CPSC determined the recalled drain covers fail to comply with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act, which mandates special grate designs to prevent strong suction and entrapment. This failure provides grounds for strict liability and negligence claims against manufacturers, importers, and retailers.
Injuries & Health Risks
Though there are no reported incidents yet, the entrapment hazard poses serious potential harm:
- Suction entrapment: Victims can be held underwater, especially children, due to powerful pool drain suction.
- Near-drowning injuries: Panic and air deprivation can lead to lasting neurological or physical effects.
- Emotional trauma: Survivors and families may experience PTSD and anxiety after an entrapment event.

FAQs
1. Is proof of injury necessary?

3. Are homeowners and pool operators both liable?
Lawsuits may target both sellers (Junjuanshop/Amazon) and maintenance operators if they failed to remove recalled covers.
