5 Million Pools Recalled Over Drowning Risks After 9 Child Deaths
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling approximately 5 million above-ground pools manufactured in China and sold in the U.S. and Canada, linked to the deaths of nine children due to drowning incidents caused by a design flaw allowing children to access the pools even when the ladder is removed. The pools, sold by brands like Bestway, Intex, and Polygroup, are being recalled for free repair kits to prevent further accidents.
