Watkins Manufacturing Hydromassage Rotary Jets in Highlife Collection Spas Due to Entanglement and Drowning Hazards
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The hydromassage rotary jets can create a suction force that allows the user's hair to be entangled, submerging their head underwater, posing entanglement and drowning hazards to the user.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — Drowning risk.

If it is determined that the spa has the recalled parts, contact the firm to obtain instructions and a video that demonstrates how to turn the recalled jets off and how to install free replacement jet inserts in your spa.
