5 million pools recalled because multiple kids drowned

Mind as well recall underground pools then

These straps wrap around the pool on the outside of the supporting poles, and may create a foothold, allowing a child to access the pool

I don’t disagree with your sentiment. But that’s a design flaw that could provide dangerous for kids (obviously), so the recall makes sense from a business standpoint.

Wouldn't the fence prevent access to the pool?

Please show me an underground pool that has straps to climb into it

...you dont have to climb to get into a ground-level pool.

I’m still pissed they banned rock-n-plays because some absolute retards left their infants in them all day and they suffocated

This. Found a contraband one for our reflux baby and it was a Godsend. For the life of me can’t figure out why you recall something because parents did something stupid. By that logic, take all baby blankets, toys, etc. Anything can cause injury with negligence.

Might as well ban mobile homes, too. Don’t most above ground pools owners live in mobile homes???

I think his point was a child doesn't need to climb straps to fall in an inground pool and drown.

Edit..

I see you've already been informed.

That’s the thing!!!!! They are WWWAY more dangerous they literally can just walk into it. Way less work!! Huge deal need to start banning these lets get ahead of this lawsuit

Trashy imo

I understand the company issuing the recall, these aren't legit above ground pools. These are Walmart Intex pools that are basically a step above inflatable.

Insurance rule is an in ground pool has to have a fence around the pool to prevent accidentally falling in. Above ground pools can have a fence, or a ladder mechanism that folds the ladder up. No ladder, no entry to pool. Can totally see why they would issue the recall since they have basically created entry as part of the pool design.

You can't even have the pool pump on a legit above ground pool within 6 feet of the pool itself for this exact reason.
