What happened

The recalled products are model #CCX-AG (a 4-step base for aboveground pools), model #CCX-IG (a 3-step base for in-ground pools), and model #CCX-ADD (an add-on unit for either type of pool). All units manufactured between 2013 and 2018 are affected. The steps and handrails are made of gray and beige plastic, and the manufacturing or date code can be found on the side walls of each step.
