Amazon's number one selling 'super comfortable' inflatable mattress down by 32%
If children are nagging to have a sleepover, a surprise guest turns up on the doorstep or a member of the family would love to come to stay there are a number of solutions to accommodate them. A spare room is the obvious one but not every home has this capacity, a sofa bed is useful but expensive, so an inflatable bed might be the answer for many people - one that easily packs away but can be released and save the day. The OlarHike inflatable mattress with built-in electric pump is Amazon's number one best seller in the inflatable beds category with over 3,000 bought last month according to the retailer. The bed is currently reduced by 32% from £99.99 to £67.98. The manufacturer states that the built-in pump inflates or deflates the air mattress in just 3-4 minutes, a durable internal structure offers consistent full-body support, and a durable internal structure offers consistent full-body support. The bed, once fully inflated, measures 190cm in length, 140cm in width and 46cm in height with a weight capacity of up to 300kg. One customer cannot contain their excitement for the product, saying: "I LOVE this - my old mattress had seen better days and I really could not afford a new one so bought this as a stop-gap until I can afford a new one. In all honesty don't think I will buy another mattress as this one is so comfortable. Great product, good value for money, and exceeds expectations." Another buyer is impressed with the comfort of the bed, commenting: "This bed is absolutely brilliant.. I tested it out last night it was super comfortable loads of space to move about. Purchased for guests visiting our home next week, it's super easy to inflate and deflate and pack away as well... love it." Alternatives to the OlarHike bed from Amazon are the Intex Queensize Inflatable Camping Air Bed priced £85 from Argos and the Active Era Comfort Plus Double Air Bed available from Robert Dyas costing £73.99. But the OlarHike inflatable bed seems to be a hit with most of its buyers, with one commenting: "Inflates quickly and deflating is just as simple. Worth the money. Really sturdy and comfortable too, and a fitted sheet stays in place." For more homes, garden and interiors content, sign up to our newsletter here The inflatable bed has multiple uses according to customers, including as a guest bed and as a camping bed, with one customer saying: "It has been used a few times now and all my guests have commented on how comfy it is. Easy to inflate/deflate using a power socket. Folds up and easily fits into the carry bag" and another adding: "Went camping for a week this bed was amazing. It inflated instantly. Great height and comfort." However not every buyer of the thousands who left a product review are delighted. One says: "Very noisy to inflate. Husband fell off it in the night. Gives my son backache and too hard. Does the job but for an odd night here and there. Too expensive for what it is" while another comments: "It's ok for the price. But it seems to lose air quite quickly. Fairly comfy for a night's sleep but needs topping up every evening." The manufacturer's product details might explain the perceived issue with loss of air, stating, 'during the first few uses, the PVC material may naturally stretch and expand, which can temporarily reduce firmness. This is a normal process and is often mistaken for a leak. If you notice a drop in firmness, simply re-inflate the bed to restore optimal support'.

Urgent recall for over 3 million hoses
By Meanwhile, the manufacturing date is listed in a month-year format and typically located near the package's barcode. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advises owners to stop using the hoses immediately, and contact Winston Products for a full refund. Many summer essentials have been recalled this year due to a variety of health hazards. An urgent recall was issued earlier this month for about five million above-ground swimming pools after a design flaw was linked to nine child drownings. The recall covered 48-inch and taller pools made by Bestway, Intex, and Polygroup that use compression straps. Endless Pools recalled thousands of pool covers a month prior after discovering they could potentially lead to injury or death. Like the pool covers, no illnesses or deaths from ingesting the recalled foods were reported. Besides summer essentials, record-breaking recalls have been issued from car manufacturers over issues such as display errors on interior screens and defects that could lead to fires under the hoods.

Home Depot's Latest Product Recall Comes With A Fatal Warning
If you're in the market for choosing the best above-ground pool, you'll probably pay attention to several factors, such as estimating the appropriate size, understanding the filtration system, and determining the ease of installation. You'll want to be aware of the hidden drawbacks to buying a DIY swimming pool as well, such as the possibility of safety hazards like walls that may collapse, shallow water that's not safe for diving, and poor-quality ladders. Another important factor is ensuring the swimming pool doesn't have a product recall associated with it, which is especially important considering the recent news from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The CPSC announced the recall of roughly 5 million above-ground swimming pools sold at Home Depot and other retailers as far back as 2002. The recall occurred after nine children, ranging in age from 22 months to 3 years, had drowned in the pools since 2007. The affected pools have brand names of Bestway, Intex, and Polygroup. Each of the recalled above-ground pools is at least 48 inches or taller and contains compression straps that fit over the top of support legs on the outside of the pool. Children may use the straps as a foothold to climb over the tall edge, falling in and creating a potential drowning hazard. Even if you remove the ladder, children could still find a way to go over the side by using the straps. Read more: 12 Unique Ways To Make A Basic Chain Link Fence Look Better And Add Curb Appeal What You Should Do If You Own One Of The Recalled Pools From Home Depot To check whether you own one of the recalled Bestway, Intex, or Polygroup above-ground pools, visit the CPSC website. Rather than returning the recalled pool to Home Depot or another place of purchase, you should contact the manufacturer of your pool. (The CPSC website has contact information for each manufacturer.) If you have an above-ground pool from these manufacturers that has compression straps or connectors that are inside the support legs, such designs are not part of the recall because children can't use them as a foothold. The manufacturer will send a DIY repair kit to affected consumers to correct the design flaw. The kit contains a rope that attaches to the vertical legs at ground level, meaning children cannot use the rope as a foothold to boost themselves over the edge. While waiting for the repair kit, consumers should take steps to ensure that children cannot access the pool without adult supervision. Do you have to fence in your backyard above-ground pool to keep it safe? Most local and state regulations require all in-ground swimming pools to have safety fences around them. Installing a fence around an above-ground pool is a good idea for safety, and some local regulations require you to install fences around above-ground pools while also installing safety locks on ladders. Having a secure safety fence should prevent children from gaining access to the compression straps. The safer option would be to drain the water until repairs can be made. Enjoyed this article?

5 Million Above-Ground Pools Recalled After Deaths of 9 Kids
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of about five million above-ground swimming pools with potentially dangerous compression straps. "These straps wrap around the pool on the outside of the supporting poles, and may create a foothold, allowing a child to access the pool and drown," said the commission on Monday, July 21, in a description of the recall, which covers pools made by Bestway, Intex and Polygroup. "Children can still gain access to the pools using these footholds even if the ladder is removed," the CPSC said, noting the recalled pools are 48 inches or taller. The commission believes nine children, ages 22 months to 3 years old, have drowned after getting into pools using the footholds. The fatal incidents occurred in California, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Wisconsin and Missouri from 2007 to 2022. "CPSC is also aware of three other incidents in 2011 and 2012 where children who gained access to the recalled pools were reported to have previously used the compression strap to gain entry to the pool," the commission said. The recalled pools have been sold across the country since 2002 at stores like Walmart, Target, Sears, Lowe's, Kmart, Toys "R" Us, Sam's Club, The Home Depot, Big Lots, Costco, BJ's and elsewhere. They were also sold online at and among other websites. The pools were manufactured in China and varied in price from $400 to over $1,000, the CPSC said. About 266,000 pools were also sold in Canada.

Those impacted by the recall are encouraged to contact Bestway, Intex or Polygroup to receive a free repair kit that includes a rope to attach to the vertical support poles at the ground level around the pool. "The rope will maintain the structural integrity of the pool (a function previously served by the compression strap)," the CPSC said. "Consumers should first secure the repair and then cut and remove the compression strap from the pool." Read the original article on People
