Above ground pools recall: Bestway, Intex, Polygroup pools recalled after drowning deaths was sold at Walmart, Target, Costco

New York — More than 5.2 million swimming pools are called on earth sold throughout the United States and Canada over the past two decades after nine sink deaths.

This summons covers a group of entertainment pools and recreational devices in the Intex that were sold by the main retailers until 2002. According to the two notifications published by the American Consumer Product Safety Committee, these complexes have pressed ribbons that work along the product outside the product – which may “create fame” for young children and allow them to reach unrestricted water.

It can pose serious sunken risks, and safety regulation. So far, CPSC believes that nine children across the United States have drowned after reaching these gatherings that have now been invested in this way. These deaths occurred between 2007 and 2022, which includes children between the ages of 22 months and 3 years. No additional death was reported in Canada.

Consumers who have these gatherings are urged to contact the line,/or Intex and/or Polygroup to receive a free repair set – which will consist of a rope to replace the pressure belt. The owners of these gatherings must ensure that young children cannot reach the pool without supervision, as organizers note – and they can drain the pool instead until the repair is made.

All gatherings that are summoned are 48 inches or longer – and can be identified through the brand and model names included in both CPSC and Health Canada. Complex sales ranged according to the model and the site, but date back to 2002 and recently in 2025.

About 5 million of these gatherings have now been sold throughout the United States-including both online stores and stores in major retail dealers such as Walmart, Target, Lowe’s, Costco and Amazon. Other 266,000 were sold in Canada.
