CPSC recalls 138,000 toddler step stools over injury risk

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall for over 138,000 toddler step stools sold primarily online, citing serious risks of injury and death. The recall, announced on July 30, 2026, affects two separate brands, Woodure and HARPPA, both of which have been linked to reports of the products tipping over, collapsing, or causing children to become entrapped.

The Woodure-branded children’s tower kitchen step stools account for the majority of the recall, with 91,000 units impacted. Safety officials state the plywood stools, measuring approximately 34.6 inches tall, can collapse or tip over during use. Furthermore, the openings on the front and back sides are large enough for a child’s torso to fit through, creating an entrapment hazard. The recall covers models WD1764, WD1357, and WD1720, which were sold on Amazon for between $60 and $100 from July 2024 through June 2026. The importer, Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development Co. Ltd., has received 22 reports of instability or tipovers, resulting in 15 injuries that included scrapes, cuts, and bruises.

Separately, 47,166 units of HARPPA’s Nordi foldable toddler towers are also being recalled for similar hazards....
