Health Canada has recalled select Bestway, Coleman, Intex, and Polygroup above-ground pools (48 inches and taller) due to a drowning hazard. The outer compression strap may allow children to climb into the pool unsupervised. Contact the company for a repair kit, and keep children away or drain the pool until the repair is done. No reports in Canada as of July 17, but the U.S. has reported 3 incidents and 9 drownings.
