More than 5.2 million aboveground swimming pools sold throughout the U.S. and Canada have been recalled due to safety concerns after nine drowning incidents involving children were reported. The recall includes brands Bestway, Intex Recreation, and Polygroup, with products sold since 2002. Compression straps on these pools can potentially create a foothold for small children, allowing access to the water unsupervised. Consumers are advised to contact the manufacturers for a free repair kit and ensure that children cannot access the pools without adult supervision.
