Confer Plastics has recalled about 100,000 Curve in-pool step systems because children's limbs can become stuck in the side openings, which can lead to drowning. The recall includes gray and beige plastic steps sold under model numbers #CCX-AG, #CCX-IG, and #CCX-ADD. These systems were sold nationwide and online at conferplastics.com between January 2013 and July 2018 for $200 to $400. Consumers should stop using these steps immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit that includes extra panels to close the dangerous openings.
The side panel openings of the step systems are large enough for a child's arm to enter and become trapped. This entrapment can hold a child underwater, posing a significant drowning hazard; two incidents involving children's arms getting stuck have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pool step systems and contact Confer Plastics for a free repair kit. The repair kit will include additional panels to prevent entrapment and installation instructions.
