Dorel Home Furnishings is recalling approximately 302,000 Cosco 2-step kitchen steppers because the safety bar can detach or break during use. The company has received 34 reports of the bar breaking or falling off, including two incidents that resulted in head injuries. These folding stepstools were sold in white/gray, green, navy, and blue colors at major retailers like Target, Walmart, and Home Depot from February 2021 through July 2025. Consumers should stop using the safety bar immediately and contact Dorel to receive a free repair kit that includes a new locking mechanism and warning label.
The safety bar on the kitchen stepper can suddenly break or detach while a person is standing on it, which can cause a child or adult to fall and suffer serious injuries. Head injuries have already been reported due to this defect.
Consumers should stop using the safety bar on the recalled kitchen stepper immediately and store the stepper away from children until repaired. Contact Dorel to receive a free repair kit, including shipping. The repair kit includes a sliding locking mechanism that attaches to the safety bar to prevent the safety bar from detaching or breaking during use. Consumers will also receive installation instructions and an additional warning label to place onto the product.
Model information is located on a label on one of the arms of the kitchen stepper.
