Banzai Inflatable pool slide recall

Posted: Updated:

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Walmart and Toys R Us have announced the recall of inflatable Banzai in-ground pool water slides because the slides can deflated during use.

A Massachusetts woman died after fracturing her neck when the slide partially deflated.  A man from Missouri is now quadriplegic from injuries sustained on the slide.

The slides were sold at Walmart and Toys R Us stores nationwide from January 2005 through June 2009.

CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using the product and return it to the nearest Walmart or Toys R Us for a full refund. Consumers can also cut the two safety warning notices out of the slide and just return that portion.
