  1. No one hurt

    Made Oct 8, 2021, sent to the company Nov 24, 2021, published by CPSC Dec 9, 2021

    The product, in the report: The Drain King for 3” - 4” Lines combination, metal rubber hose connector Model H34

    9/2021: The consumer attached this connector to his drain hose. Each end of the connector is made of brass and the center portion is made of an extremely thick rubber composite material.

    The consumer placed the connector & hose into the ground, turned the water on, which puts pressure on the item. It was supposed to flush water through the drain of his yard, out to the street. Water was going through it and within 2 – 3 minutes, the rubber portion exploded. There was a clean break to the rubber between the connectors.

    There were no injuries, but he is concerned that a person could be injured if this happened and they were in the vicinity of the product.

    9/2021: The consumer called the dealer and was advised to also contact the manufacturer. The consumer took the small damaged part of the product back to the dealer and they gave him a full refund. He also reported this incident to the manufacturer and sent them a video. He was told that he should speak with the mfr’s engineer. He was also told that they would send him a replacement piece (Drain Unclogger 750 –for 3” – 6” holes), but it was bigger.

    Part of the damaged product is still connected to his hose. The consumer attached the replacement unclogger to his product, but it did not resolve his problem. Part of the drain does permit water to be flushed through the clogged portion. Nothing further transpired.

    The consumer had a second technician come out and attempt to blow out the piece that is clogged in the drain (landscape line). That 2nd technician was also unable to unclog the line.

    The consumer has to pay several hundred dollars to replace the drain line.

    Prior to this incident, he has never had any problems with his drain in the past and he has lived in the home for 30 years.
