On February 12, 2026, Watkins Wellness issued a recall for their Hydromassage Rotary Jet (6 fin) in Highlife Collection Spas. The recall affects approximately 32,900 units. According to the recall, number 26-268, the hydromassage rotary jets can create a suction force allowing the user’s hair to become entangled, submerging their head underwater. The hazard poses an entanglement and drowning risk to users.
The recall specifically includes the Hydromassage rotary jects (6 fin) in Highlife Collection spas as well as replacement parts. The recall affects the eight models in the collection, including the Grandee, Envoy, Vanguard, Aria, Prodigy, Sovereign, Jetsetter, and Jetsetter LX. The affected jets are found in model year 2023, 2024, and 2025 spas.
The defective products were sold at independent pool and spa dealers nationwide from October 2022 through September 2025 for prices ranging from $16,000 and $24,000 for the spas and prices ranging between $18 and $35 for the replacement parts.
According to the recall, there has been one report of a consumer whose hair was entangled in the jets. No injuries have been reported.
The company is urging all affected consumers to immediately stop using the recalled jets and go to their website to determine whether their spa contains the recalled parts and contact them for information on how to turn off the recalled jets and installing free replacement jets.
