This Amazon-sold step stool has been recalled after multiple reports of falls and injuries

An estimated 91,000 Woodure toddler kitchen step stools sold on Amazon have been recalled due to safety concerns. The recall, issued on July 30, 2026, addresses tip-over, fall, and entrapment risks that could lead to serious injuries or death. The affected stools, made of plywood, measure 18 inches deep, 16.9 inches wide, and 34.6 inches tall. They bear the Woodure brand and are identified by the model numbers WD1764, WD1357, and WD1720.

The collapsibility or tipping of the stools during use, along with large openings on the front and back sides, allow a child's torso to pass through, creating a dangerous entrapment hazard. Woodure has received reports of 22 tip-over incidents and 15 injuries, including scrapes, cuts, and bruises. No fatalities have been reported.

To rectify the issue, consumers are urged to stop using the recalled stools, keep them away from children, and request a free repair kit from Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development. The kit includes protective safety nets and stabilizing feet, along with installation instructions. The company will ship the repair kits to consumers free of charge.

The recalled stools were sold online through Amazon.com between July 2024 and June 2026, with prices ranging from $60 to $100. Manufactured in China, the products were imported by Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development Co. Ltd. Recall number 26-658 was issued on July 30, 2026.
