Hazard

The recalled stools can become unstable due to loose screws, which can cause the stool legs to separate or break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately check the screws on their stools and if the screws are stripped or cannot be tightened, or if a stool leg has broken, consumers should stop using it and contact Cheyenne Industries for a free repair kit. Consumers should not return the stools to the store where purchased.

Incidents & injuries

Cheyenne has received nine reports of incidents, including seven resulting in minor injuries from the stool legs separating or breaking.
