The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of approximately five million above-ground swimming pools due to safety concerns. The pools, which are 48 inches or taller and use compression straps, are linked to nine child drownings between 2007 and 2022. The straps can act as footholds, allowing young children to climb into the pools unsupervised. The recalled models include Bestway and Coleman brands sold from 2008 to 2024, and Intex pools sold from 2002 to 2012.
Approximately five million above-ground swimming pools sold in the U.S. and Canada are being recalled due to a drowning hazard linked to compression straps.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that the pool's design could allow children to climb into the pools unsupervised, leading to drowning accidents.
Between 2007 and 2022, nine children aged 22 months to 3 years drowned after climbing into the above-ground pools using compression strap footholds.
The affected brands include Bestway and Coleman Pools, with models like Power Steel™, Steel Pro™, and various Intex Pools sold from 2002 to 2024.
