GOETAS Pool Drain Covers Recall Class Action Lawsuit

There is recall on pool drain covers sold under the GOETAS brand for not conforming to the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA). Specifically, the product fails to meet entrapment protection regulations under the VGBA, meaning you can be trapped underwater. This is the result of high levels of suction that can pull someone under and make it impossible for them to come back up if they are too close to the drain cover.

The recalled drain covers are white and measure around 7 inches high, with top grates that are approximately 9 inches in diameter. The product was sold for about $61 at Amazon.com from March 2022 through July 2024. To prevent injuries and death, please remove the pool drain cover immediately, take a photo of the item, and email the photo to Atlaspool@163.com for a full refund.

It’s terrifying to think of being held underwater by suction that you wouldn’t be aware of until you were close enough to the pool drain cover. Children are especially vulnerable to pool drowning accidents, so it’s essential that product makers follow government regulations and industry standards. Clearly, that didn’t happen here, which is why around 2,500 GOETAS pool drain covers are under recall.

Were you or your family member injured from a pool accident because of the entrapment hazard posed by this product? Did your loved one pass away from drowning injuries that were caused by an accident involving a GOETAS pool drain cover?

Injuries Caused by Defective Pool Drain Covers

Entrapment hazards in a swimming pool have devastating consequences for many parts of the body. Below are some of the injuries you can sustain if a defective pool drain cover caused you to be trapped underwater:

Permanent brain injury from hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain)
Heart problems, primarily myocardial damage and ventricular arrhythmias
Lung injury from hypoxia or aspiration, leading to respiratory failure
Renal impairment and/or damage to the liver
Hypothermia from drowning in cold water

It should also be noted that any one of these conditions can result in fatality, especially if the victim slips into a coma. This is why immediate medical care is essential, along with help from a lawyer that can investigate the cause of injury. If the manufacturer is at fault for the harm you suffered, they can be sued for damages like medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium.

What Do I Do if There is a Drowning Accident?

Every second counts when someone has been trapped underwater, so please call 911 immediately to ensure that you or your loved one is transported to an emergency room. Along with medical attention, here are some other steps we recommend:

Make sure to keep all medical records in a safe place, as this is the most important form of evidence in a product injury claim.
Along with medical records, keep anything else that shows how the accident has impacted your life in a negative way (time missed from work, written statements from witnesses, therapy bills and records, etc.)
Contact the manufacturer and let them know about the accident, but do not agree to anything without talking to a product recall lawyer first. For example, the company may offer you a refund as a form of compensation for the accident. Accepting the refund can mitigate the manufacturer’s liability and make it harder for you to sue them in the future.
Give us a call as soon as possible so that we can advise you on the best way to move forward.
