Sportspower Children’s Waterslides
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The warning labels on the children's waterslide are inadequate for weight limit and fail to tell consumers never to slide head first. This poses a risk of serious injuries to consumers, including neck injuries.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — Serious injuries are a stated risk.
