What happened

Banzai inflatable pool slides sold at Walmart and Toys R Us are being recalled due to reported deaths and severe neck injuries. The slides can deflate during use, causing users to fall and hit the ground underneath, and the slides are unstable enough to topple over in still or windy conditions. The recalled product is a vinyl in-ground pool slide with a blue base, yellow sliding mat, and arch top, featuring the "Banzai Splash" logo on both sides. The affected slides have barcode number 2675315734 and model number 15734, which appear on the original packaging.

Consumers who own this product should immediately stop using it and return it to the nearest Walmart or Toys R Us for a full refund. Alternatively, consumers can cut out the two safety warning notices from the slide and return just that portion.

Hazard

During use, the slide can deflate, allowing the user to hit the ground underneath the slide and become injured. The slide is also unstable and can topple over in both still and windy conditions and carries inadequate warnings and instructions.

What should I do?

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.

Details from the source

The recall involves Banzai in-ground pool water slides designed for use with in-ground pools. The vinyl slides have a blue base, yellow sliding mat and an arch going over the top of the slide. By connecting a hose to the top of the slide, water can be sprayed on its downward slope. The words "Banzai Splash" are printed in a circular blue, orange and white logo, shaped like a wave on either side of the slide. The recalled slides have the barcode number 2675315734 and model number 15734. Both the barcode and model number appear on the original packaging but are not on the actual slide.
