Approximately 5 million above-ground swimming pools from manufacturers Bestway, Intex, and Polygroup are being recalled due to a drowning hazard that has resulted in the deaths of nine children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a warning, noting that these pools, which are 48 inches tall or higher, were sold across the U.S. and Canada since 2002. Reports indicate that the incidents leading to the recalls occurred in multiple states, raising concerns about child safety.
