TopHomer brand recalls 8-inch drain covers

TopHomer-brand is recalling 8-inch pool drain covers, effective December 18, 2025.

TopHomer Pool Drain Covers recalled due to risk of serious injury or death from entrapment and drowning hazards.

The recalled drain covers violate the entrapment protection standards of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA), posing entrapment and drowning hazards to swimmers and bathers.

The top grate is 7.2 inches in diameter, and the bottom mounting plate is 8 inches in diameter. They are white and made of ABS plastic. “Listed suction fitting,” “SP-1053-B,” and “88D9 148 GPM” are printed on the center of the grate. “Use screws to keep grate secured to dram (drain) at all times” is printed on the outer ring of the grate.

Pool owners, pool operators, and consumers should immediately stop using pools with the recalled pool drain covers. To receive a refund, consumers should remove the drain cover from the pool, take a photo of the removed cover, and send it to the recalling firm by email at Tophomer. recall@outlook.com. Ensure all pools and spas have VGBA-compliant drain covers and teach children to stay away from drains.

The recalled pool drain covers (about 1,040 units) were sold at Amazon.com from August 2024 through October 2025 for between $15 and $26.

The drain covers were manufactured in China and retailed by TopHomerUS, of China, recall number 26-154.
