What to do if you own this product
What is the hazard with 48-inch and taller above-ground pools with compression straps running on the outside and over the vertical support legs?
48-inch and taller above-ground pools with compression straps running on the outside and over the vertical support legs was announced in a previous recall cycle, in the "Other" category. The compression strap that surrounds the outside of the pool legs may create a foothold, allowing a child access to the pool, posing a drowning risk. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
What should you do if you own this product?
Consumers should contact Bestway, Intex or Polygroup to request a repair kit. In the interim consumers should ensure that children cannot access the pool unattended or, alternatively, drain the pool until the repair can be installed. Sold at: The recalled above-ground pools have been sold since 2002 at stores nationwide, including Walmart, Target, Sears, Lowe's, Kmart, Toys "R" Us, Sam's Club, The Home Depot, Big Lots, Costco and BJ's (among others), as well as online at Amazon.com, Wayfair.com and Bestway USA, Intex, Funsicle and Summer Waves websites.. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.
