Squatty Potty has recalled about 2,400 SquattyPottymus children's toilet step stools. The stool's top removable step, referred to as the 'hat,' can unexpectedly detach while a child is standing on it, leading to falls. Squatty Potty has received two reports of children falling, with one child suffering a chin injury and a bitten mouth, and another hitting his head on a wall. These stools were sold at squattypotty.com and Amazon.com between September and November 2017.
The removable aqua blue top step (the 'hat') can slip or detach from the base while a child is climbing or standing on it. This creates an unstable surface that can cause a child to lose their balance and fall, potentially striking the toilet, walls, or floor.
Consumers should immediately stop using the children's toilet step stools until they remove the hat. Consumers should contact Squatty Potty for instructions on returning the hat portion of the stool, free of cost, for a $10 refund.
