Over 13,000 above-ground pools recalled over deadly flaw that killed 9 over 15 years

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled more than 13,000 above-ground pools due to a "drowning hazard."

The Dec. 18 recalls affect roughly 13,400 Blue Wave pools and 80 SereneLife Home brand pools, described to be 48 inches tall or higher.

CPSC said it identified a design flaw in both products. The compression strap that wraps around the exterior of the pools can be used as a foothold, the agency said. This feature allows children to climb into the pool even when a ladder is not present, increasing the risk of unsupervised access to the water.
