HARPPA's Nordi Foldable Toddler Tower Stools can collapse or trap a child's torso in gaps between the frame, the company says, after three incidents and two injuries.
HARPPA, Inc. has recalled about 47,166 Nordi Foldable Toddler Tower Stools after the company said the stools can collapse or tip over during use, with gaps in the frame large enough for a child's torso to slip through and become trapped.
The hazard
The Denver-based company, whose stools are manufactured in China, said three incidents of collapse or tip-over have been reported, resulting in two injuries described as scrapes, cuts and bruises. The recall notice, issued July 30, 2026, warns of "a risk of serious injury and death due to tip over, fall and entrapment hazards."
What was sold
The Nordi Foldable Toddler Tower Stool, model HANS0002, sold for about $130 on HARPPA's website and Amazon.com from September 2023 through June 2026. Toddler towers are typically used to let young children stand safely at counter height to help with cooking or handwashing.

- Stop using the stool immediately and store it out of children's reach.

About toddler towers generally
Toddler and learning towers have grown popular for Montessori-style parenting, but the CPSC has flagged several models in recent years over tip-over and fall risks. Regardless of brand, the agency recommends never leaving a child unattended on any elevated stand-assist furniture.
