What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: Six minor injuries have been reported in connection with the structural failure of the stools. Since injuries are reported but characterized as minor and there are no reports of hospitalizations or serious injuries, this meets the threshold for a Moderate severity rating.
