How common are electrocutions in hot tubs?

Similar jacuzzi and hot tub electrocutions have occurred in the past due to malfunctioning wiring that sends an electrical charge into the water.

There were 33 injuries and 33 deaths caused by electrocutions from swimming pools and hot tubs in the U.S. between 2002 and 2018, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

In pools and hot tubs, an electric shock can come from a variety of places, including underwater lights, electric pool equipment, extension and power cords, electrical outlets or switches, overhead power lines and more.

What are the signs of electric shock in water?

According to the CPSC, swimmers may feel a tingling sensation, experience muscle cramps, feel as if something is holding them in place or not be able to move at all.

If you think you are being shocked in water, the CPSC says to move away from the source of the shock and get out of the water, exiting if possible without using a metal ladder, which may increase the risk of shock.

If someone in the water is experiencing an electrical shock, immediately turn off all power and call emergency services.
