Incident Overview

According to a report filed with the CPSC SaferProducts database on May 6, 2026, a consumer purchased the UNICOO Bamboo Height Adjustable Kids Kitchen Step Stool and assembled it according to the manufacturer's directions. The consumer's 2.5-year-old child, weighing 34 pounds, attempted to climb into the tower by placing a hand on the round top bar and stepping onto the first step. As the child moved, the stool began to tip backward. The consumer was able to catch the tower and stabilize it before any injury occurred.

The incident report states that the stool's base is too narrow, making it easy to tip over. The consumer described the design as "very unsafe" and noted that the product was used as intended. No medical attention was required, and the severity is classified as "No First Aid or Medical Attention Received" (Severity Type ID 6). The report is publicly available on the CPSC SaferProducts website under Report ID 6034426.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: When a child shifts weight while climbing, a narrow-base step stool can tip backward suddenly, causing the child to fall. In this case, the stool's design allowed it to tip even with a 34-pound child using the first step. A fall from even a low height can result in head injuries, fractures, or other trauma, especially in young children.

Who Might Be Affected: Children aged 2-5 years are the primary users of such step stools. Their developing balance and coordination make them particularly vulnerable to tip-over incidents. Bystanders, such as parents nearby, may also be at risk if they attempt to catch the falling stool or child.

Warning Signs: A stool that feels unstable or wobbles when weight is applied may indicate a tip-over risk. Consumers should test the stability of the stool by applying light pressure to the top bar or steps before allowing a child to use it. Any movement of the stool during testing suggests an unsafe condition.

Environmental Triggers: The risk of tipping increases if the stool is placed on uneven or soft surfaces, such as carpet or rugs. Additionally, a child climbing higher than the first step or leaning to the side can exacerbate the instability caused by a narrow base.
