I feel like an idiot for not being able to see the design flaw in this that causes an entrapment hazard. Is it something to do with only two screws holding the cover in place cause it to stress crack into two halves, or distort and bend so there are pinch points on the edge?

Oh wow, I just found a review for an identical product sold under a different brand in 2023 specifically noting that it isn't VGBA compliant. Sounds like someone has a warehouse of these things and is being a real scoundrel to try and sell them all off.

Review of the same product, marketed as "BlueWave Circular ABS Swimming Pool Round Drain for Concrete Pool" on Amazon India.
Review date 2023-07-06

Not VGBA compliant, old design and not anti entrapnet. Dangerous. Good if you have dual drain system or gravity drain system.

Looks like it's 40% off if you buy from Amazon India, under the brand "Blue Wave"

Picture of the same recalled drain cover branded as Blue Wave, on sale for 1348 RMB, normally 2250, 40% off for the Great Indian Festival.

What is the penalty for Amazon selling these products after being warned multiple times that the product was unsafe before this safety warning?
