What’s wrong with it?

Air baths release heated bubbles into the water. A heating element on these baths can fail to shut off, posing a fire hazard.

What should you do?

Consumers should check their bath’s serial number and call to determine if their bath is part of the recall. If a bath is included in the recall, consumers should disconnect the electrical supply to their bath by unplugging the equipment or by switching off the circuit breaker immediately and schedule an appointment for a free repair.
