Prime-Line Announces Recall on Bathtub Non-Slip Pads

Prime-Line is in the window and door repair and replacement parts business for the past 50 years.  Home maintenance is where they shine, and their products can be found in home centers or hardware stores across the USA.   If you need a hog ring, bug seal or screen window spline, Prime-Line most likely makes one.  They supply many manufacturers with OEM or originally designed component parts that meet customized specifications.

This week, however, they have not met the specifications of the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) product safety requirements.  In addition to this week’s recall on the cabinet and drawer child safety latches (see blog post on 7/27/11), Prime-Line has once again joined forces with CPSC to recall 8,000 Bathtub Non-Slip Pads.

Although no injuries have been reported, one consumer advised Prime-Line that some of the pads do not stick firmly to the bathtub surface. A pad that moves out of place during use can create a potential fall hazard.

The bathtub pads are white, adhesive-backed, whale-shaped vinyl pads that have a slightly textured surface.  Sold in sets of 12 or 15 pieces, they range in size from 2” to 4” in height. Sell price for each set was $6.00.

Consumers who have purchased these pads should check them for security immediately. Contact Prime-Line directly at (855) 839-9555 or on their website www.prime-line-products.com to receive a refund.
