The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled about 5 million above-ground swimming pools due to potential drowning risk after nine children died over the last two decades.

The CPSC believes that nine children under the age of 3 drowned after gaining access to the pools via said compression straps, which wrap around the outside of the product, according to the release.
