A recall has been issued on all Banzai in-ground pool water slides after the Consumer Product Safety Commission received reports of two serious injuries and one death while using the product.
One woman died after hitting her head on the concrete edge of the swimming pool when the slide partially deflated while in use. Two other people were seriously injured in similar accidents, resulting in a woman fracturing her neck and a man becoming a quadriplegic.
The Banzai slides were sold in Wal-Mart and Toys R Us stores nationwide. Consumers should stop using the product immediately and return it to any Wal-Mart or Toys R Us location for a full refund.
