Spa pumps are being recalled after a death, fires, and property damage

Bestway International is recalling about 866,000 AirJet and HydroJet spa pumps.

The recalled AirJet and HydroJet spa pumps can overheat causing the plastic housing to ignite, posing a fire risk.

At least three fires have occurred involving the spa pumps, including one house fire in January 2024 in Kansas City, Missouri, that resulted in a death and one additional fire that resulted in significant property damage, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement.

Seven additional incidents are under investigation, the CPSC said.

The spa pumps may have been sold separately, or in a package with an inflatable spa liner. The pumps sold with the liner are sold under the brand names SaluSpa, Coleman, and Hydro-Force.

This recall only includes AirJet and HydroJet spa pump model numbers P05332, P05339, P05711, P05807, P07000, P07001, P05511, P07034, and P07572.
