   The product, in the report: Coral Smart Pool MYLO pool drowning detection and alarm system. The product is an outdoor residential swimming pool safety alarm system. It is designed to monitor a swimming pool using cameras and computer vision and to alert if it detects a possible drowning event. The system includes a pool unit mounted at the edge of the pool, a home unit located inside the house, and a mobile app. The pool unit includes an above water camera, underwater camera, siren, indicator lights, docking station, power cord, and a physical alarm dismiss button. The unit is installed at the pool edge and extends partly into the pool water. The home unit plugs into an indoor outlet and provides audible and visual alerts. The product involved is MYLO by Coral Smart Pool. The MYLO ID for the current unit begins with D74e20. The prior failed unit ID began with 01892e. The current unit is a replacement unit received from Coral after a prior malfunction issue in 2025. The product color is primarily white or light colored plastic with camera and indicator components. I do not have exact dimensions available, but it is a compact pool mounted electronic monitoring device intended to remain installed at a residential outdoor swimming pool during normal use.

   I am reporting a potential safety concern involving a Coral Smart Pool MYLO pool drowning detection and pool alarm system used at a residential outdoor swimming pool. The product is intended to monitor the pool and alarm if it detects a possible drowning event. The device was installed and used under normal outdoor residential pool conditions. There was no known misuse, abuse, submersion, hurricane exposure, tropical storm exposure, or unusual event. The unit was being used as a pool safety device while installed at the pool. This is the second MYLO device I have had fail or generate malfunction issues under normal use conditions in about two years. A prior MYLO unit began generating recurring malfunction alerts around late May or early June 2025. Coral support reviewed photos and stated that their technical department suspected water inside the system. I advised them that I saw no visible signs of water intrusion such as fogging or internal droplets and that the unit had only been exposed to normal rain and ordinary storms. Coral replaced that unit in June 2025. The replacement unit has now also generated malfunction messages after only a few months of actual use. Coral support initially again suggested possible water intrusion. After reviewing updated photos Coral stated that there was no water in the system and that the home unit was functioning properly. Coral then identified a possible issue with the physical button on the pool unit and stated that if there were a genuine drowning incident and the button malfunctioned it could prevent the alarm from sounding. Coral also recommended placing a heavy wooden stool over the system during rain to protect it from heavy rain reduce the risk of the button being accidentally activated or prevent it from being damaged by falling objects. My concern is that this appears to indicate the button and system need protection from normal outdoor elements or conditions but this is not clearly disclosed in the MYLO User Guide. The user guide only identifies the button as an Alarm dismiss button. It does not appear to warn that button malfunction could prevent the alarm from sounding during an actual drowning event. It also does not clearly state that an installed and powered outdoor pool safety device must be protected from ordinary rain storm debris wind blown objects falling objects or accidental activation. No injury occurred. I am reporting this as a potential safety defect failure to warn issue and repeated malfunction of a consumer pool drowning detection alarm under normal residential use conditions. My concern is that consumers may rely on the device as a life safety product while not being adequately warned that a button malfunction or normal outdoor exposure could affect the device ability to alarm during a drowning event.
