BATON ROUGE - Several Blue Wave above-ground pools are being recalled due to a drowning hazard, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. 

The hazard is caused by a compression strap surrounding the outside of the pool that may potentially be used as a foothold. This foothold would allow children access to the pool, creating a drowning risk.

More than 13,000 pools have been sold through Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon, Wayfair and Walmart.
