Walmart is recalling approximately 2,600 Mahco Inc. tripod stools because the plastic collar connecting the legs can break unexpectedly. These stools feature three steel legs and a REALTREE camouflage pattern seat made of polyester. The stools were sold nationwide at Walmart stores and online at Walmart.com from June 2016 through August 2016 for about $6. Consumers should immediately stop using these stools and return them to any Walmart store for a full refund.
The central plastic hub that holds the three steel legs together can crack or shatter during use. This causes the stool to collapse, which can result in the user falling and suffering injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled stools and return them to Walmart for a full refund.
