Sunneday and Blue Bay Above-Ground Pools 48 inches and Taller

Sunneday and Blue Bay above-ground pools 48 inches and taller have a compression strap that can create a foothold, posing a drowning risk.

Summary by Recall Canary from the CPSC notice

What happened

Starmatrix Group Inc. is recalling Sunneday and Blue Bay brand 48-inch and taller above-ground pools because the compression strap that surrounds the outside of the pool legs may create a foothold, allowing a child access to the pool, posing a drowning risk. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on January 29, 2026, and no incidents have been reported.

The pools, made in China, were sold online at Amazon.com and sunneday.com from January 2024 through October 2025 for between $500 and $1,210 depending on the size and model of the pool and accessories purchased.

Model information and the Sunneday or Blue Bay logo are printed on the liner on the outside of the pool. Consumers should contact Starmatrix to request a free repair kit. In the interim, consumers should ensure that children cannot access the pool unattended or, alternatively, drain the pool until the repair can be installed.
