Failure to recognize the need to leave the spa. (4) Physical inability to exit the spa. (5) Fetal damage in pregnant women. (6) Unconsciousness resulting in danger of drowning. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
F
SUCTION ENTRAPMENT HAZARD
Pool and spa pumps move large volumes of water, which can pose extreme danger if a person’s hair comes in close proximity to a drain that is not the proper size for the pump or pumps.
Hair Entanglement – When the hair tangles or knots in the drain cover, trapping
the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the flow rating of the cover is too small for the pump or pumps.
Limb Entrapment – When a limb is sucked or inserted into an opening resulting in a mechanical bind or swelling. This hazard is present when a drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked or not properly secured.
Body Entrapment – When a portion of the body is held against the drain cover trapping the swimmer underwater. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken or the cover flow rating is not high enough for the pump or pumps.
Evisceration/Disembowelment – When a person sits on an open pool (particularly a child wading pool) or spa outlet and suction is applied directly to the intestines, causing severe intestinal damage. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
Mechanical Entrapment – When jewelry, swimsuit, hair decorations, finger, toe or knuckle is caught in an opening of an outlet or drain cover. This hazard is present when the drain cover is missing, broken, loose, cracked, or not properly secured.
