Steel Pro, Power Steel, and Coleman Power Steel above-ground pools have been recalled after nine toddlers drowned after using exterior compression straps to gain access to the pools. The pools were manufactured by Bestway, Intex, and Polygroup.
Since 2002, the recalled pools have been sold nationwide at stores including Walmart, Target, Sears, Lowe’s, Kmart, Toys “R” Us, Sam’s Club, The Home Depot, Big Lots, Costco, and BJ’s. They were also sold online at Amazon.com, Wayfair.com, and on the Bestway USA, Intex, Funsicle, and Summer Waves websites.
Between 2007 and 2022, nine children in California, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Missouri drowned. The toddlers, ages 22 months to 3 years old, used an exterior compression strap as a step to gain access to the pools.
