Crane Plumbing is recalling about 5,500 bathtubs with a whirlpool because the drain covers in the tubs can entangle a bather's hair in the openings. That can cause the bather's head to be held underwater, which can lead to drowning.

No incidents or injuries have been reported.

The bathtubs were sold at home improvement, retail and wholesale stores nationwide from March 2007 through February 2009 for between $700 and $2,700. Crane will either arrange for a service agent to replace the parts, or Crane will provide a free repair kit and directions.

Consumers can contact Crane at 866-876-3632, or visit www.craneplumbing.com.
