Approximately 21,000 Banzai in-ground pool water slides have been recalled following reports of one death and two severe spinal injuries. These vinyl inflatable slides, designed for use with in-ground pools, can deflate unexpectedly or topple over, causing users to strike the ground or concrete pool edge. Consumers should immediately stop using the slides and return them to Walmart or Toys R Us for a full refund.
The slides can partially deflate during use, causing the user to hit the hard ground underneath rather than sliding into the water. Additionally, the slides are unstable and can tip over in even light wind, and their inadequate warnings fail to prevent dangerous use over concrete edges, which has led to a fractured neck death, quadriplegia, and other neck injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and return it to the nearest Walmart or Toys R Us for a full refund. Consumers can also cut the two safety warning notices out of the slide and just return that portion.
