Bestway
Bestway Above-Ground Pool Settlement
People who bought a qualifying Bestway pool for personal use may claim $40 without purchase proof, or 10% of the qualifying purchase price with valid proof. The claim deadline has been extended to November 19, 2026. One claim is allowed per household.
Key facts
The lawsuit alleges that certain Bestway above-ground pools posed a drowning hazard and that the recall did not provide adequate monetary relief. Bestway denies defects and wrongdoing.
Who may qualify?
Covered buyers are people in the United States, its territories or Washington, D.C. who purchased a qualifying Bestway-branded pool for personal use. The pool must have been sold from 2008 through 2024, stand at least 48 inches tall and have compression straps outside the support poles. Second-hand purchases and purchases for resale are excluded.
What could you receive?
One claim is allowed per household. The proposed settlement provides $40 without valid purchase proof, or 10% of the price with valid proof. If the proof does not show a price, the identified product’s average retail price is used. These options are alternatives. The $15 million settlement does not replace the separate pool recall or release personal injury or property damage claims.
What information is needed?
Claimants must identify a qualifying pool and sign the claim. Purchase proof supports the percentage-based option. The online form asks for the Settlement Claim ID from the notice.
What dates matter?
The administrator has extended the claim deadline to November 19, 2026. The exclusion deadline was October 30, 2026. A fairness hearing is scheduled for November 20, 2026. Payment depends on final approval and any appeals being resolved.
Who may qualify
People in the United States, its territories or Washington, D.C. who bought for personal use a Bestway-branded pool sold from 2008 through 2024 that is at least 48 inches tall with compression straps outside the support poles may qualify. Second-hand and resale purchases are excluded.
What proof do you need?
Do you need proof of purchase?
For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. Purchase proof is optional for the $40 route and supports a payment of 10% of the qualifying price instead. Every claim requires eligibility certification and pool identification. Online filing asks for the Settlement Claim ID.
Where do these requirements come from?
From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.
How can I check a settlement email or text?
Who is the administrator?
Eisner Advisory Group LLC is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.
Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?
No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.
What warning signs should I look for?
Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.
Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
