CHILDREN AT RISK FOR DROWNING IN POOLS AND HOT TUBS. NEW DRAIN COVERS MANDATED. CALL LOS ANGELES INJURY ATTORNEYS FOR HELP.
Swimming accidents claim far too many lives in the United States. Children are especially at risk. A year ago, Congress passed a law requiring a special drain safety system on all public pools and hot tubs to prevent children (and adults) from being sucked into a pool's drain and drowning. The law is scheduled to go into effect this week. From 1984-2004 more than 30 children drowned in these types of swimming pool and spa accidents. All of their deaths could have been prevented by anti-drowning drain covers. To learn more, visit our website at www.alawpro.com.

In the case of the dangerous drains, the product is a deadly menace under the supervision of the premises owners. Unfortunately, many public spas and pools will not be in compliance with the new safety regulations in time, partially due to a lack of funds for overseeing and regulating the change. The National Swimming Pool Foundation estimates that 80% of public swimming locations may have to close since they do not have the new drains. Municipal, hotel, apartment, rec center and community center, and private club swimming pools and spas are all required to install the safety drains which are hump-shaped to prevent suction. The Consumer Product Safety Commission states that they are attempting to regulate waters for the youngest swimmers, baby and wading pools, first.
