Woodure Toddler Step Stools Recalled: 91,000+ Units Pose Serious Entrapment and Tip-Over Hazards
In a significant safety action, more than 91,000 Woodure toddler kitchen step stools sold exclusively through Amazon have been recalled across the United States. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on July 30, citing serious risks to young children. According to the CPSC, a child’s torso can fit through the openings on the front and back sides of the stool, creating a dangerous situation that could lead to severe injury or even death from tip-over, fall, and entrapment hazards. The recall affects all units of the Woodure toddler step stools, which were sold in various colors and designs.
The recall was initiated after federal regulators determined that the stools can collapse or tip over while in use, posing an immediate threat to children. The CPSC urges consumers to stop using the recalled step stools immediately and keep them away from children. The affected products were manufactured by Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development Co., Ltd., and distributed through Amazon. Consumers who purchased the stools are advised to contact the company for a full refund or a free replacement. The CPSC also emphasizes that even if the stools appear to be in good condition, parents and caregivers should always supervise children when using these towers, as children often find new and innovative ways to be unsafe.
This recall is part of a broader safety effort by the CPSC, which has also recalled other products, including zipline kits, due to significant injury risks. The agency is reminding the public to regularly check for recalls on children’s products and to report any incidents or injuries to the CPSC. For more information on this recall, consumers can visit the CPSC website or contact the company directly. The NBC 5 Chicago News team will continue to provide updates on this story as more details become available.
In the meantime, if you have a Woodure toddler step stool at home, do not let your child use it. Follow the recall instructions to receive a refund or replacement, and consider alternative, safer options for your child’s kitchen activities. Your child’s safety is paramount, and taking immediate action can prevent a tragic accident.
