Texas Alert: Millions of Above-Ground Swimming Pools Under Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling millions of above-ground pools after nine children reportedly drowned in them.

In total, 5 million pools are part of the recall that was announced on Monday, and here are the models and brands under this recall:

• Bestway and Coleman Models
  
  • Sold 2008-2024
    
    • Power Steel
    • Steel Pro
    • Coleman Power Steel
• Intex Models
  
  • Sold 2002-2012
    
    • Metal Frame Pools
    • Ultra Frame Pools
• Intex Models (sold only at Intexcorp.com and Walmart)
  
  • Sold 2024-2025
    
    • Prism Frame Pool
    • Ultra XTR Frame Pool
• Polygroup Models
  
  • Sold 2006-2025
    
    • Summer Waves (2015-2025)
    • Summer Escapes (2006-2015)
    • Funsicle (2023-2025)
    • Sand n Sun (2008-2011)
    • Blue Wave (2014-2025)

These pools are above-ground, typically 4 feet in height, and they feature a compression strap that encircles the pool to support the legs.

The problem arises because this strap can be used as a step, allowing a child to climb the pool wall and enter it without supervision. Sadly, that is how nine kids die in various states. The drownings occurred from 2007 to 2022.

Pools under this recall were sold at:

• Walmart
• Target
• Sears
• Lowe’s
• Kmart
• Toys “R” Us
• Sam’s Club
• The Home Depot
• Big Lots
• Costco
• BJ’s and more

The pools that pose a danger to the safety of kids were also sold online at

• Amazon.com
• Wayfair.com
• Bestway USA
• Intex
• Funsicle
• Summer Waves websites.
