The hazard: Drowning hazard

The item was withdrawn because it can fail in water. Nothing on this page replaces constant, within-arm’s-reach supervision of a small child near water.

What the notice says: The compression strap that surrounds the outside of the pool legs may create a foothold, allowing a child access to the pool, posing a drowning risk.

Why it matters: The product can fail in or near water, or it suggests a level of safety it cannot deliver. Drowning is fast and quiet, and a flotation aid fails at exactly the moment it is being relied on.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Get the child out of the water, call 911, and start rescue breaths or CPR if they are not breathing. Any child who had to be rescued from water should be assessed by a clinician even if they seem fine, because inhaled water can cause breathing problems hours later.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

Children can still gain access to the pools using these footholds even if the ladder is removed.

What to do about Drowning

Hobby Lobby — The item was withdrawn because it can fail in water. Nothing on this page replaces constant, within-arm’s-reach supervision of a small child near water.

  1. Stop using the product in or near water immediately.
  2. Empty paddling pools, buckets and tubs and store them upside down when they are not in use.
  3. Treat any inflatable or foam aid as a toy rather than safety equipment unless it is a Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
  4. Keep a small child within arm’s reach in any water, including baths and paddling pools.

How the remedy works

CPSC recalls specify one of three remedies, and which one you get is not negotiable — but how smoothly it goes often is.

  • A refund means the purchase price back, sometimes prorated by age for durable goods. Ask how they calculated it if the figure looks low.
  • Several recalls now ask you to destroy the item and send a photo as proof. Register the claim before you do that, never after.
  • Return shipping is the company’s cost. If you are asked to pay it, push back.
  • A repair kit is shipped free and is designed to be fitted at home; if you cannot fit it, ask whether they will arrange installation.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should contact Starmatrix to request a free repair kit. In the interim, consumers should ensure that children cannot access the pool unattended or, alternatively, drain the pool until the repair can be installed.

Company contact: Starmatrix toll-free at (888) 254-2714 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email at [email protected] or online at https://www.starmatrix.cn/page-81484.html or go to www.starmatrix.cn and click on "Product Recalls" at the top of the page for more information.
