Walmart Recalls Tripod Stools Due to Fall Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the Mahco Inc. tripod stool to prevent a fall.
  2. Identify the stool by checking for three steel legs with plastic end caps and a REALTREE logo pattern camouflage polyester fabric seat.
  3. Confirm the product by checking the orange and black hang tag attached to the stool for the name 'Mahco Inc.' and the product title 'TRIPOD STOOL'.
  4. Return the recalled stool to any Walmart store to receive a full refund.
  5. Contact Walmart at 800-925-6278 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or online at www.walmartstores.com and click on 'Product Recalls' for more information.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
