SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20220726-2E831-2147354753. Matched catalog product: Summer Waves Summer Waves. Source model text: PS23122452-AC. Incident: We purchased a Summer Waves 24ft x 12ft x 52in Rectangle Above Ground Frame Swimming Pool Set in February of 2021. When we set up the pool for the summer (end of May) we found out the 90-day warranty (from date of purchase) was passed and the leaky filter pump would not be covered. However, after a season and a half of use (so a total of 4.5 months), the entire liner ripped even though it was installed on level ground and not overfilled (in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions). The instant release of 8000 gallons of water bent parts of the steel frame to 90-degree angles and if one of our kids had been in the pool, simply standing next to it, or even mowing (as they were planning to do that day), they would have been seriously injured by the force of this poor quality product or even killed.
