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 reports that Trsmima has received 21 notifications regarding the failure of the zipline kit’s turnbuckle, cable, or seat during operation, leading to falls and at least eight injuries, which include fractures, sprains, bruises, and scratches.
