Nearly 91,000 toddler kitchen step stools branded as Woodure have been recalled across the country after federal safety authorities discovered that these tower stools may collapse or tip over while in use, posing a risk as a child’s torso can fit through the openings located on the front and back sides.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission shows that the defects present a significant risk of severe injury and fatality due to hazards related to tip-over, falls, and entrapment.
