S.R. Smith is recalling approximately 1,800 Splash! and 40 PAL Hi/Lo and Spa pool access lifts because the welds securing the base plate or mast can break. This defect can cause the lift to fall over while in use, which happened in one reported incident where a person was seated in the chair. No injuries have been reported so far, but the manufacturer has received two reports of structural failure. These lifts were sold between January 2013 and September 2015 for use at hotels and community swimming facilities.
The structural welds on the base plate or mast can fail, causing the entire lift to tip over or collapse while a person is being moved. This poses a significant fall hazard to users, many of whom may have limited mobility and cannot easily recover from a fall or tip-over event.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled pool lifts and contact S.R. Smith for a free replacement base and/or mast assembly.
