If your toddler climbs up to “help” in the kitchen, that little wooden tower probably feels like one of the safer things in your home. That is exactly why the latest news is so unsettling. On July 30, 2026, federal regulators announced a Woodure kitchen tower stool recall covering about 91,000 units, after the product was linked to tip-overs, collapses, and a hidden entrapment risk that can trap a child’s torso.
If you own one of these stools, the short version is simple: stop using it right now and keep it away from your kids. Below is what the recall actually covers, what has happened to children so far, and what your options are if your child was hurt.
We know how this feels. You bought a product meant to keep your child close and safe, and now you are being told it may have put them in danger. You did nothing wrong. Let’s walk through the facts together.
Key takeaways
- The Woodure kitchen tower stool recall was announced July 30, 2026 and covers roughly 91,000 units (models WD1764, WD1357, and WD1720).
- The stools were sold on Amazon.com from July 2024 through June 2026 for $60 to $100.
- Woodure has received 22 reports of instability or tip-overs, including 15 reported child injuries such as scrapes, cuts, and bruises.
- The hazard is serious: the stools can collapse or tip over, and a child’s torso can fit through the front and back openings, creating a risk of severe injury or death.
- The fix is a free repair kit, but families whose children were already hurt may have a Woodure kitchen tower stool lawsuit or product liability claim.
What is the Woodure kitchen tower stool recall about?
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the importer announced the recall because the Woodure toddler kitchen towers can fail in two dangerous ways. First, the tower can collapse or tip over while a child is standing in it. Second, the openings on the front and back are wide enough that a small child’s torso can slip through, which creates an entrapment hazard on top of the fall risk.
Put simply, a product designed to hold a toddler steady at counter height can drop them, tip with them, or let them slide partway through the frame. For a child standing three feet off the ground, that is a genuinely frightening combination.
The recall was issued by Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development Co. Ltd. of China, the importer, in cooperation with the CPSC. The official recall number is 26-658.
Which Woodure stools are recalled?
The recall covers three Woodure-branded children’s tower kitchen step stools:
- Model WD1764
- Model WD1357
- Model WD1720
All three are made of plywood and measure about 18 inches deep, 16.9 inches wide, and 34.6 inches tall. The model number is engraved on the underside of the bottom step, so you can flip the stool over to check yours quickly.
How many injuries and deaths have been reported?
As of the recall announcement, Woodure had received 22 reports of instability or tip-overs, including 15 reported injuries to children. The reported injuries so far involve scrapes, cuts, and bruises. No deaths have been reported in connection with the Woodure stools.
It is important to be precise here, because the CPSC lists the risk of death due to the tip-over, fall, and entrapment hazards. That warning reflects how serious a torso entrapment or a fall from that height can be, not a confirmed fatality. The recall is a preventive step meant to stop a tragedy before it happens.
If your child suffered anything more severe than a minor scrape, such as a head injury, a broken bone, or an entrapment scare, that matters both medically and legally, and it is worth documenting carefully.
Where and when were the recalled stools sold?
The recalled Woodure stools were sold exclusively online at Amazon.com from July 2024 through June 2026, priced between $60 and $100. Because this was an Amazon kids kitchen stool recall for a product sold through the platform rather than in physical stores, most owners bought theirs online, which means the purchase is likely sitting in your Amazon order history right now.
That order record is useful. It confirms the model, the price, and the exact date you bought it, all of which help if you ever need to file a claim.
What injuries has this product caused to children?
The reports collected so far center on falls and tip-overs, with children ending up with scrapes, cuts, and bruises. The design itself points to how a toddler tower stool tip over injury can escalate quickly:
- Fall injuries from the platform height (nearly three feet), including head, facial, and arm injuries
- Crush or pinch injuries if the tower collapses while the child is inside it
- Entrapment injuries if a child’s torso slips through the front or back opening
- Soft tissue injuries such as bruising and lacerations from contact with the frame or the floor
Young children do not brace for a fall the way adults do, and a kitchen is full of hard surfaces, sharp corners, and hot appliances. A kitchen step stool fall injury claim often involves more than the fall alone, because of where these products are used.
Is Amazon responsible for injuries from third-party products sold on its site?
Sometimes, yes. Amazon’s responsibility for a third-party product depends on the facts and on the state where you file. This is one of the most active questions in product liability law right now, and the answer is not the same everywhere.
Courts in several states, including California, have held that Amazon can be treated as part of the “chain of distribution,” which can make it liable for defective products sold through its platform, even when a third party is the seller. Other courts have reached different conclusions. Pennsylvania and New Jersey have their own evolving case law on when an online marketplace can be held responsible.
Because the importer here is based in China, holding a foreign manufacturer accountable can be difficult on its own. That is exactly why the platform’s role often becomes central to a child entrapment product liability lawsuit. A defective toddler product lawyer can look at where and how you bought the stool and identify every party that may share responsibility, from the importer to the marketplace that sold it.
We never guarantee an outcome, and every case turns on its own facts. But you should not assume that “a third party sold it” means no one can be held accountable.
What should I do if I own a recalled Woodure kitchen step stool?
Take these steps in order:
- Stop using it immediately and store it somewhere your child cannot reach.
- Check the model number engraved under the bottom step (WD1764, WD1357, or WD1720).
- Request the free repair kit from the importer. Contact Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development at 844-687-1918 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday), by email at woodure-service@hotmail.com, or online at wwoodure.com/recall. The kit includes protective nets, stabilizing feet, and installation instructions, and it ships free.
- Do not throw the stool away if your child was injured. The product itself is evidence.
- Save your Amazon order confirmation and any photos.
Accepting the repair kit does not erase your right to pursue a claim if your child was already hurt. The kit fixes the future risk. It does not undo an injury that already happened.
What evidence should I keep if my child was injured by this product?
Keep everything you can, and start now while it is fresh. Strong documentation is often the difference-maker in a Woodure kitchen tower stool lawsuit.
- The stool itself, unaltered, stored safely (do not install the repair kit on it if your child was injured, since that changes the evidence)
- Photos and video of the stool, the model number, the damage, and the scene where the injury happened
- Medical records and bills from the ER, pediatrician, or any specialist your child saw
- Your Amazon purchase record, including the order date and price
- The product listing and packaging, plus any warning labels or instructions
- A written timeline of what happened, when, and who witnessed it
- Names and contact info for any witnesses
Do not post about the injury on social media before speaking with a lawyer, and be cautious about signing anything or accepting an early offer from a manufacturer or insurer. Once you accept a settlement, you usually cannot reopen the claim later, even if new medical issues appear.
Part of a bigger safety problem
The Woodure recall is not happening in isolation. Regulators have recalled several other toddler kitchen towers in 2026, including the Boon PIVOT (recalled by TOMY), Mangohood, Cosyland, and Little Partners Grow ‘N Stow towers. Consumer reporting suggests more than 400,000 toddler towers have now been pulled from the market across brands, tied to well over 100 reports of tipping, slipping, and collapsing.
If you own more than one climbing helper or learning tower, it is worth checking each one against the CPSC recall list, not just the Woodure model.

Frequently Asked Questions
The recall covers about 91,000 Woodure children’s tower kitchen step stools that can collapse, tip over, or let a child’s torso slip through the front and back openings. Announced July 30, 2026 by the CPSC and importer Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development, it affects models WD1764, WD1357, and WD1720 because of tip-over, fall, and entrapment hazards.
Woodure has received 22 reports of instability or tip-overs, including 15 reported child injuries such as scrapes, cuts, and bruises. No deaths have been reported. The CPSC still lists a risk of death because of how serious a fall or torso entrapment from that height can be.
The stools were sold exclusively on Amazon.com from July 2024 through June 2026 for between $60 and $100. Because they were sold online, most owners can confirm their purchase in their Amazon order history.
Stop using it immediately and store it away from children. Check the model number under the bottom step, then request the free repair kit (protective nets, stabilizing feet, and instructions) from Shenzhen Muqiqu Creative Development at 844-687-1918 or wwoodure.com/recall. If your child was injured, keep the stool and your records before making any changes to it.
Reported injuries so far include scrapes, cuts, and bruises from falls and tip-overs. Because the platform sits nearly three feet high and the openings allow entrapment, the design also carries a risk of head injuries, broken bones, crush or pinch injuries, and entrapment injuries.
Sometimes. It depends on the facts and the state. Some courts have held Amazon liable as part of the distribution chain for defective third-party products, while others have not. When a manufacturer is overseas, the marketplace’s role often becomes central to the claim, so it is worth having a lawyer review your situation.
Keep the stool itself unaltered, plus photos and video, all medical records and bills, your Amazon purchase record, the product listing and packaging, and a written timeline with witness names. Avoid installing the repair kit on the actual stool involved, since that changes the physical evidence.
