Hydromassage jets recalled over entrapment and drowning risk

Health Canada has issued a recall for Hydromassage Rotary jets installed in certain Highlife Collection hot tubs due to a potential entrapment and drowning hazard.

The recall, posted on Thursday, involves rotary jets found in eight spa models from the 2023, 2024 and 2025 Highlife Collection, as well as jets sold separately as replacement parts.

The affected models include Grandee (GGN), Envoy (KKN), Vanguard (VVN), Aria (ARN), Prodigy (HN), Sovereign (IIN), Jetsetter (JJN) and Jetsetter LX (JTN).

Health Canada says the jet’s suction force can cause hair entanglement, posing a risk of entrapment and drowning.

As of Feb. 10, 2026, no incidents or injuries have been reported in Canada. In the United States, the company has received one incident report and no reports of injury.

Approximately 2,606 units — including 853 spas and 1,753 replacement jets — were sold in Canada between October 2022 and October 2025. About 32,900 units were sold in the United States.

The recalled products were manufactured in China.

Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the affected jets, turn them off by twisting the jet face clockwise and contact Watkins Wellness for free replacement jet inserts.

Health Canada reminds consumers that recalled products cannot be redistributed, sold or given away in Canada.
