Nationwide Industries is recalling approximately 2,500 Trident Magnetic Gate Latches used to secure pool gates. The recall affects 10-inch and 20-inch models in both black and white that were sold nationwide between February and October 2013. The magnet inside the striker portion of the latch can come loose, which prevents the gate from latching properly and poses a danger of unauthorized access to pool areas. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately check their latches for the "Trident" name and logo to see if they are affected.
The internal magnet can detach from the striker, causing the latch to fail to catch or stay closed. This can leave pool areas unsecured, increasing the risk of children or others entering the water unsupervised and potentially drowning.
Consumers should contact Nationwide Industries for a replacement striker kit that can be installed with a Phillips head screwdriver.
