What parents need to know
This recall concerns Evajoy above-ground pools that are 48 inches or taller.
A safety concern has been identified with a compression strap that goes around the outside of the pool legs. This strap can create a foothold, which could allow a child to climb into the pool, even if the ladder is removed. This poses a drowning risk to children.
If you own one of these Evajoy above-ground pools, you can request a free repair kit that removes the compression strap. Until the repair is installed, it is important to prevent children from accessing the pool unattended. You can also choose to drain the pool until the repair can be made. Please refer to the official recall notice for detailed instructions on how to obtain a free repair kit and complete the remedy process.
