Blue Wave Above-Ground Pools Recalled Due to Drowning Hazard

Agency Publication Date: December 18, 2025

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Blue Wave is recalling approximately 13,400 above-ground pools that are 48 inches or taller. The pools feature a compression strap around the outside of the support legs that can act as a foothold, allowing children to climb into the pool even if the ladder has been removed. Blue Wave is providing free repair kits to address this hazard, and consumers should ensure children cannot access the pool unattended in the meantime.

Risk

The external reinforcing belt creates a step that children can use to climb over the pool wall, posing a serious drowning risk. While no injuries have been reported, the hazard persists even when safety ladders are taken away.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your pool is affected by checking the original box, the instruction manual, or the liner on the outside of the pool for the Blue Wave logo and the model numbers listed in the Affected Products section below.
  2. Check the UPC barcode on your pool's packaging to see if it matches any of the 15 affected codes, which include 672875005895, 672875005925, 672875006106, 672875006137, 672875004874, 672875004881, 672875009565, 672875009589, 672875009916, 672875009923, 672875009930, 672875009954, 672875009961, 672875009978, or 672875009985.
  3. Ensure that children cannot access the pool unattended or, alternatively, drain the pool entirely until the repair kit is installed.
  4. Contact Blue Wave toll-free at 800-603-0475 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, email recall@bluewaveproducts.com, or visit www.bluewaveproducts.com/pages/recall to request a free repair kit.
