I can’t scroll social media between May and September without seeing a warning, a close call, or a devastating drowning story. So parents will want to know about the recent recall of popular backyard pools after the U.

A joint recall announced by the CPSC impacts above-ground pools sold at Walmart, Target, Lowe's and many others after the deaths of nine children.

The pools are surrounded by compression straps that can be used as footholds, allowing small children to climb into the water unattended.
