Amazon Wood Stool Recall Issued Over Stability Concerns
A recall has been issued for over 91,000 wooden step stools sold on Amazon due to concerns about their stability. The Woodure children's tower kitchen step stools were manufactured by Chinese company Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development Co. Ltd.
The CPSC reported that 22 people experienced instability or tip-overs with the stool, and 15 of those incidents resulted in injuries such as scrapes, cuts, and bruises. A child's torso can fit through the openings on the front and back sides of the step stool, posing a risk of serious injury and death.
The recall includes models WD1764, WD1357, and WD1720. Anyone concerned they have one of these stools can check the model number engraved on the underside of the bottom step.
Consumers who have one of the affected step stools can contact Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development for a free repair kit, which includes protective nets, stabilizing feet, and installation instructions. They can be reached at 844-687-1918 between 11am and 7pm CT, Monday through Friday, or by email at woodure-service@hotmail.com.
