April 23, 2026 – Hangzhou Xinyanchuangxin Technology Co Ltd. d/b/a Wiifo of China recalled about 9,700 children’s tower stools model LT005 sold on Amazon.com from June 2022 through March 2026 for about $60 after receiving 22 reports of stools collapsing, resulting in six injuries including contusions and scrapes [1].
22 Collapses, 6 Injuries
Wiifo documented 22 separate collapse incidents before initiating the recall. Six children suffered actual injuries serious enough to report including contusions and scrapes from structural failures.
Largest Tower Stool Recall
With 9,700 units recalled, Wiifo’s recall volume far exceeds the 3,000 units recalled by Toetol Home and 130 recalled by AMZCMJ DGD on the same date. Three separate Chinese manufacturers recalled defective tower stools simultaneously on April 23, 2026.
Budget Pricing Strategy
At $60, Wiifo priced their stools significantly lower than Toetol Home’s $130 and AMZCMJ’s $85-$100 models. Budget pricing suggests cost-cutting measures that may have compromised structural integrity.
Four-Year Sales Window
Sales ran from June 2022 through March 2026—nearly four years of distribution. Thousands of families purchased these defective stools over an extended period before the recall.
Model LT005 Identification
The recalled stools are model LT005 with the model number printed on a label on the underside of the standing platform. Consumers must flip the stool over to check the model designation.
Three Wood Finishes
The wooden kitchen tower stools sold in white, natural, and light wood finishes. All three color options share the same structural defects causing collapses.
Square Dimensions
The stools measure 18 inches deep by 18 inches wide by 34 inches tall. The square footprint creates a smaller base relative to the Toetol Home stools, potentially reducing tip-over stability.
Triple Hazards Combined
The recalled stools pose collapse hazards, tip-over hazards, and entrapment hazards simultaneously. Children face injury from structural failure, tipping, or becoming trapped when torsos fit through side openings.
Entrapment Death Risk
The CPSC warns of “risk of serious injury and death” from entrapment. Children can suffocate if torsos pass through openings but heads cannot, leaving them wedged unable to breathe.
0.23% Collapse Rate
With 22 collapses out of 9,700 units, the collapse rate stands at approximately 0.23%. While lower than Toetol Home’s 0.6% rate, it still represents systemic structural defects across the product line.
Phone Contact Available
Unlike Toetol Home and AMZCMJ which provide only email contact, Wiifo offers a toll-free phone number at 888-505-6206 from 9am to 5pm PT Monday through Friday. Phone access provides faster consumer assistance.
Website Recall Portal
Wiifo established www.wiifo.net/recall and added a “Product Recalls” link on their main website. This dedicated recall infrastructure suggests better corporate organization than competitors offering only email addresses.
Destruction Required for Refund
Consumers must disassemble the stool, photograph the destroyed product, and email the photo to support@wiifo.net before receiving refunds. This destruction requirement prevents preserving evidence for potential legal claims.
Amazon Exclusive Distribution
The recalled stools sold only through Amazon.com during the four-year period. Amazon’s platform distributed nearly 10,000 defective products to families nationwide.
Kitchen Helper Purpose
These products market as kitchen helper stools allowing toddlers to reach countertops during meal preparation. Extended time at counter height increases exposure to collapse and entrapment risks.
Contusions from Falls
Reported injuries include contusions—bruising from impact with floors or stool components when structures collapse. These documented injuries likely represent only the most serious cases parents bothered reporting.
Chinese Manufacturing
Hangzhou Xinyanchuangxin Technology Co Ltd. manufactured and imported these stools from China. Quality control failures during production allowed structurally defective units to reach American families.
Industry-Wide Problem
Three Chinese tower stool manufacturers recalled products on the same date for identical hazards—collapse, tip-over, and entrapment. This suggests industry-wide design flaws rather than isolated manufacturing defects.
Contact an Attorney
If your child was injured from a Wiifo tower stool collapse or entrapment, contact a product liability attorney. Preserve the stool without destroying it, photograph injuries and structural failures, save medical records, and keep Amazon purchase records.
