- April 2026 — CPSC announced recall number 26-432 for TOETOL HOME Children’s Tower Stools because the stools can collapse or tip over during use and a child’s torso can fit through the side openings, creating serious fall and entrapment hazards. The recall involved about 3,000 units, followed 18 reported collapses and 11 injuries including contusions, cuts, and scrapes, and instructed consumers to stop using the stools immediately and seek a full refund [1].
Toetol Home Children’s Tower Stools were recalled in April 2026 because they can collapse or tip over while a child is using them. The recall also warned that a child’s torso can fit through the side openings, creating an entrapment hazard tied to the risk of serious injury or death.
What’s the Problem?
A. What Is It
The recalled product is a TOETOL HOME-branded children’s tower stool, model DETD0001. It is a wooden kitchen tower step stool sold to help children stand at counter height.
The stool was sold in white, gray, and dark wood finishes. It measures about 20 inches deep, 15 inches wide, and 36 inches tall.
B. How Exposure Happens
The first hazard is structural instability. The stool can collapse or tip over while a child is standing on it.
The second hazard involves the side openings. A child’s torso can fit through those openings, creating an entrapment risk during ordinary use in the kitchen or home.
C. Health Effects
Contusions — A child can suffer bruising if the stool collapses or tips and the child hits the floor, counter, or nearby furniture.
Cuts and scrapes — Sharp contact points, splintering wood, or a sudden fall can cause visible skin injuries that may require medical attention.
Entrapment injury — If a child’s torso becomes trapped in the stool opening, the event can create a much more serious emergency with a risk of severe harm.
D. Who Is Liable
- Importer Dali Fortune Trade CO., doing business as TOETOL HOME
- Manufacturers and supply-chain entities involved in making the stool
- Online sellers or distributors, where legally applicable
