DANGER: Drowning Hazard — Risk of Serious Injury or Death

The cold plunge tubs pose a serious drowning risk, especially for young children and inexperienced users.

To prevent tragedies:

  1. Never leave children unattended near the cold plunge tub.

The disconnect must be readily accessible and visible to the cold plunge occupant but installed at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the cold plunge water. Always unplug unit before servicing.

WARNING: Hypothermia Risk

Prolonged immersion in cold water can lead to hypothermia or other health hazards. Hypothermia is a medical emergency caused by prolonged exposure to very cold temperatures. Normal body temperature is about 98.6°F/37°C. When body temperatures drop below 95°F/35°C it is considered hypothermia.

To reduce the risk of injury:

  1. The water in a cold plunge should never be below 37°F. Before entering the cold plunge, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
  2. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during cold plunge use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning.
  3. First time users should limit the use of the cold plunge to one minute. Experienced users should limit their sessions to under 5 minutes.
  4. Do not use while under the influence of alcohol, anticoagulants, antihistamines, vasoconstrictors, vasodilators, stimulants, hypnotics, narcotics or tranquilizers. The use of alcohol or drugs can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia in cold plunges.
  5. Do not use if you have one of the following symptoms: Dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, palpitations.
  6. Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a cold plunge since some medication may induce drowsiness, while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
  7. Exit the water immediately if uncomfortable, lightheaded, experiencing palpitations or dizziness.
