Hydromassage Rotary Jets Recalled Due to Entrapment and Drowning Hazards

What Happened

Watkins Manufacturing Corporation has issued a recall for Hydromassage Rotary jets due to potential entrapment and drowning hazards. The suction force from these jets can cause hair entanglement, posing a significant safety risk to users. As of February 10, 2026, the company has received one incident report in the United States and no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves Hydromassage Rotary jets found in eight spa models from the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Highlife Collection. These jets were also sold individually as replacement parts.

Affected spa models (with model designators) include:

• Grandee (GGN)
• Envoy (KKN)
• Vanguard (VVN)
• Aria (ARN)
• Prodigy (HN)
• Sovereign (IIN)
• Jetsetter (JJN)
• Jetsetter LX (JTN)

Consumers can identify affected units by checking the serial number located on the right side of the spa’s base pan. The serial number begins with the three-letter model designator and contains the letter “D” or “E.” The three numbers following the letter indicate the spa production quarter. Approximately 2,606 units were sold in Canada and 32,900 units were sold in the United States between October 2022 and October 2025.

What You Should Do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product. The affected Hydromassage Rotary jets should be turned off by rotating the jet face clockwise. Owners should then contact Watkins Wellness to receive instructions on how to obtain free replacement jet inserts.

For more information, consumers can contact Watkins Wellness through the following channels:

Why This Matters

The suction force of the rotary jets creates a risk of hair entanglement, which can pin a user underwater, leading to potential drowning or serious injury.
