25 August 2023
The following notice has been issued by the Office for Product Safety and Standards.
Product
Sundance Spas and Jacuzzi Hot Tubs
Type
Electrical appliances and equipment - Hot Tubs and Jacuzzis
Country of origin
Mexico
Product description
Freestanding spas and jacuzzis. The model number and serial number are engraved into a silver plate in the equipment bay of the hot tub.
Affected models
Jacuzzi J-200, J-300, J-400 and J-500 Collection hot tubs and Sundance Spas 680, 780, 880 and 980 series spas
Manufacturing dates
Affected units were manufactured between 29 July 2021 and February 9 2022.
Hazard
Minor cracks in the sensor thermistor chip may reduce electrical resistance in the thermistor, causing the temperature sensor to relay incorrect water temperatures (but not >46C). This can cause the water to be hotter than the set temperature, presenting a risk of burns and injuries.
The product does not meet the requirements of the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 2016.
Corrective action
Owners of affected spas in the UK have been contacted directly by the manufacturer or via distributors to arrange the replacement of the sensor (part # 6600-551).
Owners who own an affected unit and have not yet had their sensor replaced should use an accurate external thermometer to confirm the water temperature prior to entering the hot tub until the hot tub is confirmed not to have the affected temperature sensor.
