The Lanyitongke pool drain cover warning applies to model SP1030-A pool drain covers that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says should no longer be used. CPSC says pools fitted with the affected cover should not be used until the cover has been removed and replaced with an appropriate drain cover that complies with federal pool and spa safety requirements.
The warning involves about 480 drain covers. CPSC says the covers violate mandatory requirements under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act because they lack required markings and required information about service life, installation and maintenance. The agency says the noncompliance creates entrapment and drowning hazards.
How to identify the affected Lanyitongke drain cover
The affected product is a white round pool drain cover measuring about 7.87 inches in diameter. Look for SP1030-A molded into the cover. If the original packaging is available, the label may also show the codes HOW9109A and D2LGC021.
The packaging codes help identify the product, but they should not be treated as separate models.
What should you do if your pool has SP1030-A?
CPSC’s instruction is to stop using the affected pool immediately. Do not continue normal pool use while waiting to see whether the seller later offers a refund or replacement programme.
If you confirm SP1030-A
Stop pool use, remove the affected drain cover, replace it with an appropriate VGBA-compliant drain cover and dispose of the Lanyitongke cover.
If the packaging is gone
Check the installed cover itself for the molded SP1030-A model marking and compare its shape and size with the CPSC identification details.
If you are unsure what replacement is suitable
Do not choose a replacement solely because it physically fits. The CPSC warning requires a compliant drain cover, while the correct replacement also depends on the pool or spa installation.
Is Lanyitongke offering a refund or free replacement?
No seller-funded remedy is established in the current CPSC warning. CPSC says Lanyitongke did not respond to the agency’s requests to conduct a recall or offer consumers a remedy.
That distinction matters. This is a CPSC product safety warning, not a cooperative recall announcement with a confirmed refund, replacement or reimbursement process.
Where were the drain covers sold?
CPSC says the drain covers were sold on Amazon.com from April through June 2026 for about $9. The agency also says the products may have been sold on other online platforms or by third-party sellers.
If you bought a low-cost replacement pool drain cover during that period, the purchase history may help with identification, but the model marking on the product remains the stronger product-specific clue.
Why does CPSC say the cover is dangerous?
CPSC says the drain covers do not meet mandatory federal pool and spa drain-cover requirements because they lack required markings and required information about the product’s service life, installation and maintenance.
Drain-cover safety standards are intended to reduce the risk that a swimmer can become trapped by suction at a pool or spa drain. CPSC says the Lanyitongke covers therefore pose a risk of serious injury or death from entrapment and drowning.
Have any injuries or drownings been reported?
CPSC lists no reported incidents or injuries for this warning.
That does not change the stop-use instruction. The agency’s warning is based on the identified safety-standard violations and resulting entrapment and drowning hazard, not on a requirement that an injury must already have occurred.
Can you sell or give away the removed cover?
No. CPSC tells consumers to dispose of the affected drain covers and not to sell or give them away.
The purpose of removing the product from service is to prevent it from being installed in another pool or spa where the same safety risk would remain.
What replacement should you install?
CPSC says the pool should not be used again until an appropriate VGBA-compliant drain cover has been installed.
The warning does not identify one universal replacement model for every pool or spa. Drain configuration, dimensions, flow characteristics, installation requirements and the replacement product’s approved instructions can matter. TPS therefore does not recommend an unverified replacement product solely from appearance or size.
What if your drain cover looks similar but has a different model number?
Do not assume that every white round pool drain cover is part of this warning. The current CPSC action specifically identifies Lanyitongke model SP1030-A and the associated packaging codes described above.
If the installed product cannot be confidently identified, check purchase records, packaging or current CPSC product-warning information before treating it as the same product.
What could change next?
The current state could change if Lanyitongke later agrees to conduct a formal recall, offers a refund or replacement, CPSC expands the affected-product scope, additional sellers are identified or incident information is reported.
Those developments would update this same article because they change the remedy or evidence state for the same affected product and owner problem.
Verification note
ThePulseSignal reviewed CPSC warning 26-770 and corroborating current consumer-safety coverage. The CPSC notice directly establishes the model and packaging identifiers, approximately 480 affected covers, the Amazon sales period, the federal safety-standard violations, the stop-use and disposal instruction, the lack of a current seller remedy and the absence of reported incidents or injuries.
What remains unknown?
It remains unknown whether Lanyitongke will later cooperate with CPSC, whether a refund or replacement programme will be created, which additional third-party sellers may have distributed the product, whether incident reports will emerge and which compliant replacement is suitable for an individual pool or spa installation.
