The iGarden P100 CPSC warning requires an immediate safety action: the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says consumers should stop using iGarden Swim Jets P100 combination drain covers and stop using pools fitted with the affected covers because they pose an entrapment hazard that can lead to serious injury or drowning.
CPSC says the P100 drain covers do not conform to federal entrapment-protection requirements under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. The warning also states that the importer, iGarden.ai, was unresponsive to CPSC’s request to conduct a recall.
What should you do if your pool has an iGarden P100?
Stop using the pool immediately. Do not treat continued swimming as safe while the affected P100 combination drain cover remains installed. Follow the CPSC stop-use and disposal instructions and do not resume pool use until appropriate compliant drain protection has been installed and verified.
Which iGarden model is covered by the warning?
CPSC Warning 26-765 specifically identifies the iGarden Swim Jets P100 combination drain cover.
CPSC also says the firm may have sold similar covers in other models, but the reviewed warning does not identify P160, P200, P230 or every other iGarden P-Series model as covered by this warning. Owners of another model should not assume either that it is affected or that it is cleared solely from the P100 notice. Check the exact model and the latest CPSC information.
Is this an iGarden recall?
The safest description at this stage is a CPSC product safety warning, not a completed cooperative recall.
CPSC says it asked the importer to conduct a recall and that iGarden.ai was unresponsive. The reviewed warning therefore does not establish a company-run recall programme, refund process or replacement remedy for owners.
This distinction matters because a CPSC warning can still require urgent consumer action even when the company has not agreed to a recall.
Why does CPSC say the P100 is dangerous?
Pool and spa drain-cover rules are designed to reduce the risk that a swimmer’s body, hair or another object becomes trapped by suction or water-flow forces around a drain system. CPSC says the P100 combination drain covers do not conform to the applicable federal entrapment-protection requirements.
The consequence is potentially severe because entrapment can prevent a swimmer from escaping the water. CPSC’s warning specifically identifies the risk of serious injury or drowning.
Owner safety checklist
- Confirm whether the installed swim-jet combination drain cover is an iGarden P100.
- Stop using the affected pool while the P100 remains installed.
- Follow CPSC’s instructions for disabling, destroying or disposing of the affected cover.
- Do not sell, give away or pass the affected cover to another user.
- Before reopening the pool, have replacement drain protection checked for applicable federal compliance and correct installation.
- Check for a later CPSC update, formal recall, expanded model list or importer remedy before assuming the warning state is unchanged.
Does CPSC say to destroy the affected cover?
Yes. CPSC’s warning instructs consumers to stop using the drain covers, destroy them and not sell or give them away. Owners should follow the regulator’s current instructions rather than attempt to keep the affected cover in service while waiting for a company response.
Is there a refund or free replacement?
No confirmed refund or cooperative replacement programme was established in the reviewed CPSC warning. Because CPSC says the importer was unresponsive to its recall request, TPS cannot state that owners are currently entitled to a company-funded replacement or reimbursement.
If that changes through a later recall notice or importer response, this same article should be updated rather than creating a second page for the same owner problem.
What should you install before using the pool again?
CPSC’s broader pool-drain guidance requires drain covers used in covered pools and spas to comply with the applicable federal safety standard. The practical goal is not merely to replace the P100 with another similar-looking part, but to ensure the replacement drain protection is compliant and properly installed for the specific pool or spa system.
TPS has not independently tested replacement products and does not recommend a specific replacement model in this article.
Were injuries or deaths reported?
The recovered CPSC warning establishes the hazard and the potential for serious injury or death, but TPS did not find a confirmed incident or injury count in the warning reviewed for this article. The absence of a stated count should not be interpreted as evidence that the product is safe to continue using.
What happens next?
The next material change would be a formal recall or remedy from iGarden, an expansion of the warning to additional models, a CPSC amendment, identified sales channels, or confirmed incident information.
Until then, the current controlling action for an identified P100 is straightforward: stop using the affected pool and follow CPSC’s safety instructions.
Verification method
ThePulseSignal reviewed CPSC Product Safety Warning 26-765 and CPSC’s pool-and-spa drain-cover compliance guidance, then checked the model scope, stop-use instruction, recall status and unresolved remedy questions against the completed research.
Limitations & unresolved facts
The exact CPSC publication clock, number of affected units sold and any confirmed incident count remain unknown. The reviewed warning does not establish that all iGarden P-Series models are affected, and it does not establish a cooperative refund or replacement programme. Any later CPSC amendment or importer response can materially change those points.
