Product: Summer Waves 14x36 quick set pool (14x36 swimming pool made by Summer Waves, sold by TMH Ventures through Amazon). Incident: On June 22, 2022 I ordered a summer waves 14 x 36 quickset pool this pool was sold through Amazon by a company called TMH ventures we set the pool up following instructions closely filled it up with water and my grandson played in the pool for about 30 minutes. The following day I got in the pool stayed in there For approximately 30 minutes ,came inside to get something to drink and heard an explosion . The pool had exploded in the backyard , it came apart were the seams were bonded. 3000 gallons of water rushed out with such force that my back driveway which is asphalt with gravel on top was dislodged And I now have holes in my driveway where the asphalt used to be. It washed the gravel 20 to 30 feet over the driveway into my lawn. I cannot cut my grass because the rock is embedded in the grass approximately 5 to 6 inches deep . I have contacted Amazon And they refunded my money within 2 to 3 days . An Amazon representative has called me and checked in regularly to see if TMH Ventures has tried to reach out and find a resolution. To which my response was - no they have not. I have requested with each email that I sent to TMH Ventures for A representative of their company to please contact me. I think they needed to send someone to my house and look at the damage . I would like to have my driveway restored and the rocks out of my lawn. it is most fortunate that my grandson and myself were not in this pool when this happened because the water came out in such force I do believe we could have gotten seriously injured I have asked TMH Ventures to please send me an address or a
