Hazards
The drain covers in the tubs can entangle a bather's hair in the openings, causing the bather's head to be held under water, which can result in drowning.
Reported injuries
None reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled tubs. Consumers can contact Crane for additional identification information on affected tubs.
