SereneLife above-ground pools recalled over a strap that creates a foothold

What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: the strap can give a child access to the pool and pose a drowning risk, with no incidents reported.
Plain-English summary
All SereneLife brand above-ground pools 48 inches and taller are being recalled, covering models SLPORND15 and SLPORND18. Model information and the SereneLife logo are printed on the liner on the outside of the pool.
The pools contain a compression strap, also referred to as a reinforcing belt, that wraps around the pool on the outside of the vertical support poles and may create a foothold, allowing a child to access the pool and drown. The CPSC notes that children can still gain access using these footholds even if the ladder is removed. No incidents have been reported.
About 80 units were sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Wayfair.com, Target.com and serenelifehome.com from December 2021 through May 2025 for between $300 and $500 depending on size, model and accessories.
Consumers should stop using the pools immediately and contact SereneLife Home for a full refund, providing photographic evidence of destruction or disposal of the product.
