On this page, we’ll discuss the Bestway Above Ground Pool Lawsuit, defects and design flaws present on certain Bestway aboveground pools, who qualifies to file an Above Ground Pool Accident Lawsuit, and much more.
Bestway above-ground pools have come under scrutiny due to a concerning design flaw.
Based on investigations, a seemingly innocuous feature — a nylon or rubber support band — can be a significant hazard and safety concern.
Meant to prevent the pool from expanding, the nylon rubber support band unintentionally gives children younger access to the pool without the use of a ladder.
This unexpected flaw can lead to severe injuries and devastating losses, prompting investigations and legal actions against Bestway and potentially other manufacturers who have utilized rubber or nylon support bands in their designs.
By failing to warn the public and making their above-ground pool available for sale, Bestway and other negligent pool manufacturers may be liable for injuries and deaths.
If your child was injured or killed due to the design flaws of Bestway’s above-ground pools, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit.
Contact TorHoerman Law for a free case evaluation.
You can also use the chatbot on this page to find out if you qualify to join others filing lawsuits involving defective above-ground swimming pools.
Tragic incidents have resulted from children using support bands to access a pool without the use of a ladder.
Legal action aims to hold manufacturers liable for injuries and deaths related to these design flaws.
Reach out to our law firm with any questions you may have.
We’re here to help you.
Bestway above-ground pools have been a popular choice for households seeking an accessible and more affordable alternative to traditional in-ground pools.
Aboveground pools typically come in various sizes and shapes, catering to different spaces and preferences.
Constructed using materials like PVC or nylon, Bestway’s above-ground pools are designed for easy assembly without the need for extensive digging or construction.
They offer a relatively quick setup, which makes them appealing for seasonal use or for those who don’t have an in-ground pool.
Bestway above-ground pools can be dismantled and stored when not in use.
This feature enables pool owners to save space and allow for relocation.
Moreover, they’re a more budget-friendly option, requiring less initial investment and maintenance compared to the construction and upkeep costs of an in-ground swimming pool.
Despite their benefits and portability, certain Bestway above ground pools contain a design flaw that can make it easy for a child to climb into the pool without supervision or the use of a ladder.
While providing a refreshing escape during hot months, these pools may contain a critical design flaw that has raised serious safety concerns.
Accidents documented by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) have highlighted these design flaws and the impact on user safety.
Bestway above-ground pools incorporate a seemingly innocuous element — an essential nylon and rubber support band intended to maintain structural integrity.
This band was originally meant to prevent the pool from expanding beyond its intended size.
However, this design feature presents a substantial safety risk.
While the band keeps the pool at the right size, it does little to prevent drowning.
Drownings occurred after kids used the band as a foothold.
Using the support band, a small child can climb the side of the pool and gain access to the water.
Incidents involving this design flaw have resulted in drowning, near-drowning, and deaths of children.
The above-ground pool’s support band has become a foothold for unauthorized entry into the pool.
Based on reports of children drowning, they used this band as a makeshift foothold, bypassing the need for a traditional ladder or adult supervision to access the pool.
This unforeseen consequence has created a serious safety hazard by enabling children to access the pool without supervision or safety precautions in place.
The use of support bands in place of pool ladders has led to a series of alarming incidents.
Children gaining unauthorized access to the pool without adult supervision have suffered injuries, ranging from cuts and bruises to more severe harm.Â
Children drowning in backyard pools is already a major concern, and the fact that this design flaw increases a child’s chances of accessing a pool without supervision is especially troubling.
According to the CPSC’s injury report, younger children are especially at risk of drowning in pools.
More than 76% of child drowning incidents involved kids below the age of five.
Tragically, some drowning instances have resulted in fatalities.
Between 2020 and 2022, it was estimated that most drownings (around 80%) took place in backyard settings.
In response to the growing number of incidents, numerous agencies like the CPSC issued safety measures.
These safety guidelines were meant to prevent accidents from occurring in one’s own backyard.
In light of accidents, injuries, and deaths resulting from Bestway’s design flaws, the company and other pool manufacturers may be liable for resulting injuries and deaths.
Pool manufacturers may be liable due to the following elements:
Manufacturers bear a fundamental responsibility to ensure the safety of the products they bring to market, especially those designed for household use.
In the case of Bestway’s design, the intended purpose of the nylon or rubber support band was to maintain the pool’s structural integrity.
However, the consequence of this feature becoming an access point for unauthorized entry raises critical concerns about product safety.
Bestway’s responsibility extended to the functionality of the pool and the foreseeable risks associated with its use.
The oversight in recognizing the potential for the support band’s misuse — particularly by children — highlights a significant lapse in the safety considerations during the design and manufacturing process.
In short, pool manufacturers may have failed to see the potential risks, which may be a gross act of negligence that makes the company liable for accidents and deaths resulting from these design choices.
In the realm of product liability, the focus often shifts to whether manufacturers should have reasonably anticipated potential risks arising from the use of their products.
A manufacturer’s inclusion of a support band as part of the pool’s structure had an unintended consequence — it provided an easy foothold for unauthorized access.
The foreseeable risk of children using this support band as a ladder-like access point should have been a pivotal consideration during the design phase.
This foreseeable risk — if left unaddressed or unanticipated by the manufacturer — raises questions about a manufacturer’s duty to prevent such unintended and hazardous use.
Despite the increasing number of incidents and the grave safety concerns stemming from the design flaw in certain above-ground pools, pool manufacturers notably refrained from issuing a product recall.
This decision raises substantial questions regarding the company’s responsiveness to the mounting risks associated with its product.
The lack of a recall has drawn criticism and intensified scrutiny.
The failure to take proactive measures to mitigate the risks associated with the pools amplifies concerns about the prioritization of consumer safety.
This absence of a product recall, despite the evident dangers posed by the design flaw, highlights the importance of legal investigations and actions to hold pool manufacturers accountable.
In particular, litigation is necessary to address the lack of responsive measures to protect consumers from foreseeable risks.
The escalating incidents of injuries and fatalities linked to unauthorized access have resulted in legal actions and investigations against Bestway and other pool manufactures.
These inquiries aim to investigate the role and accountability of manufacturers in producing and distributing pools with a design feature that inadvertently compromises safety.
Other companies are being investigated for above-ground swimming pool injuries and deaths.
Like Bestway, these companies have manufactured pools that have led to the injuries and accidental deaths of numerous children.
Companies that manufactured pools containing a nylon or rubber support band include:
As the investigation unfolds, more companies may be revealed to have utilized this design.
At TorHoerman Law, we are taking action and representing individuals in above-ground pool lawsuits.

The portable pools designed by Bestway and other companies come with serious risks, especially for younger children.
Grasping these risks is crucial to understanding how serious the situation is and why it’s essential to take corrective actions to avoid more incidents.
This flaw poses a significant risk, especially for children.
Because children can climb, access, and fall into the pool unnoticed, it puts them in potentially dangerous situations.
From minor mishaps to severe accidents, this flaw significantly heightens the dangers associated with these pools.
Children playing around these pools are particularly at risk, as the ease of entry without supervision amplifies the potential for accidents.
Unlike inground pools, certain above ground pools lack numerous safety features, creating a risk for unsupervised children and non-swimmers.
First, a portable pool does not have a self-closing or self-latching gate.
Without proper fencing or barriers, these pools are easily accessible, increasing the chances of accidental falls or drowning.
Inflatable pools often do not have pool alarms.
Pool alarms are often a feature of in-ground pools and provide additional restrictions for access.
Many above ground pools do not come with built-in safety features like anti-slip ladders or covers, which can prevent accidental entry.
This absence of essential safety protocols in above ground pools poses a significant hazard, especially in households with young children or pets.
