Plain-English summary

Aviva Sports is recalling approximately 7,500 Astroslide Inflatable Water Slides, model 17048. The slides are large, inflatable units measuring 5 feet high and 9 feet long, used for sliding into pools or lakes. They are green with orange handles and feature "AVIVA AstroSlide" written on the sides.

The recall is due to an excessive length of rope attached to the safety mat, which presents a risk of entanglement in the water. This condition poses a drowning hazard to users. Aviva has received one report of a child being tangled on the rope in the water, but no injuries have been reported.

The slides were sold at sporting goods stores nationwide from January 2004 through May 2004 for about $99. Consumers should immediately stop using these slides and contact Aviva Sports to request a free repair kit. After making the repair, consumers can resume using the product.
