- April 2026 — CPSC announced recall number 26-430 for Wiifo 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 9,700 units, followed 22 reported collapse incidents and six reported injuries, and directed consumers to stop using the stools immediately and seek a full refund [1].
Wiifo Children’s Tower Stools were recalled because they can tip over, collapse, and trap a child’s torso in the side openings. For parents, that means a product marketed to help children safely reach counter height can instead create both fall and entrapment dangers.
What’s the Problem?
A. What Is It
The recalled product is a Wiifo-branded children’s tower stool, model LT005. It is a wooden kitchen tower stool sold in white, natural, and light wood finishes.
The stools measure about 18 inches deep, 18 inches wide, and 34 inches tall. The model number is printed on a label on the underside of the standing platform.
B. How Injury Happens
The first hazard is structural instability. The stool can collapse or tip over while a child is standing on it or climbing into position.
The second hazard involves the side openings. A child’s torso can fit through those openings, creating an entrapment risk that can quickly become much more serious than an ordinary household fall.
C. Health Effects
Contusions — A collapsing or tipping stool can cause bruising if a child hits the floor, cabinets, or nearby furniture. Scrapes and cuts — Sudden movement, sharp contact points, or a rough landing can cause visible skin injuries.
Entrapment injury — If a child’s torso becomes trapped in the stool opening, the event can create a high-risk emergency with the potential for severe injury or death. Those risks are what made this recall especially serious from a product safety standpoint.
D. Who Is Liable
- Importer Hangzhou Xinyanchuangxin Technology Co Ltd., doing business as Wiifo
- Manufacturers and supply-chain entities involved in making the stool
- Online sellers or distributors, where legally applicable
Do I Qualify?
- Did your child use a Wiifo Children’s Tower Stool?
- Did the stool collapse, tip over, or create an entrapment incident?
- Did your child suffer bruises, cuts, scrapes, or another injury?
- Did you incur medical bills or other financial losses?

If you answered YES to 2 or more questions, you may have a valid claim. Product identification and documentation can make a meaningful difference in evaluating whether the claim is viable.
