2026-04-08 – A toddler sustained a fall injury when the crossbar of a Harppa Nordi folding toddler tower detached unexpectedly, causing the child to fall backwards and strike her head. The incident, reported to the CPSC SaferProducts database, highlights a potential design defect in the product manufactured by HARPPA INC. and sold on Amazon. Product DetailsBrand Name: Harppa Nordi Incident OverviewOn March 22, 2026, a 22-month-old child was using the Harppa Nordi folding toddler tower at home. According to the incident report filed with the CPSC, the child leaned backwards against the crossbar of the tower. At that moment, the crossbar detached from the structure, causing the child to fall backwards out of the tower and hit her head against a wall. Fortunately, the parent reported that no medical attention was required. The incident occurred during normal use of the product, which is designed to allow young children to safely reach counter height. The failure of the crossbar to remain securely attached suggests a potential weakness in the design or assembly of the tower. The reporter did not describe any prior issues with the product. The incident report (ID 5960799) is publicly available on the CPSC SaferProducts website. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: When the crossbar detaches, the child loses structural support and can fall backward, striking their head or other body parts against hard surfaces like walls, floors, or furniture. Such falls can cause concussions, fractures, or other serious injuries. Who Might Be Affected: Toddlers and young children who use the folding toddler tower are most at risk. Their developing motor skills and lack of awareness make them particularly vulnerable to sudden loss of support. Warning Signs: A loose or wobbly crossbar may indicate that the attachment mechanism is failing. Parents should inspect the tower regularly for any signs of detachment, unusual movement, or wear at connection points. Environmental Triggers: Repeated leaning or shifting of weight against the crossbar, which is a normal behavior for children using the tower, may stress the attachment points. The design should withstand such forces without failure. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Cease use of the Harppa Nordi folding toddler tower to prevent further injuries until the safety issue is resolved. Consumers who suffered injury or property damage may want to speak with a product liability attorney about their options.
