Description
The ladders were included with Aqua® Leisure Simple-Set® inflatable pools that range from 12 to 18 feet in diameter. The white metal arched ladders have two, three or four plastic blue steps on each side of the arch with two blue cross bars just above the top step. White plastic and metal clips are used to connect the steps to the ladder. Each step is molded with the words "Aqua® Leisure."
Hazard
The plastic step support clips can be assembled upside down, causing the ladder steps to break under a user's weight.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the ladders and contact Aqua-Leisure for a free repair kit, including new assembly instructions and color-coded support clips. Ladders should be re-assembled using the new repair kits.
