The product, in the report: Door mounted foot pull. Trade name StepNPull. It is a metal device mounted at the bottom of the pull side of a door. The device is rigid and projects from the door 2-3 inches with a metal fin device. The mounting of the unit can create a foot/toe entrapment when opening the door.

StepNPull foot door pull injured my wife when opening a door to a business. The door pull is mounted an inch or so above bottom of door and it projects outward 2-3 inches. When opening the door her foot was caught between the foot door pull and shoe. It tore the flesh and nail from her toe. When getting a tetanus booster for the injury, the local pharmacist stated she had given tetanus boosters for similar foot door pull injuries recently.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/10/2024) KRM Innovations, Inc.: Thank you for notifying us of this unfortunate incident and for providing some details about how it happened. StepNpull® device safety is of utmost importance to us, and we take this report seriously.
In 2007 we invented the StepNpull® foot operated door opener, and they were installed on several doors by the end of 2007. Since then, StepNpull® door openers have been installed on over 500,000 doors worldwide and safely used an estimated 5 billion times to pull doors open with the foot. Billions more people have safely used StepNpull® equipped doors by hand, via the door handle to enter and exit without issue. The StepNpull® door opener projects or extends 3” from the door, and per the installation instructions, should be mounted within 1/8” from the bottom of the door. If correctly installed, the StepNpull® does not increase the swing arch of the door. Commercial door stops, which are mounted on the bottom corner of a door, just like a StepNpull® device, range in projection from 3” to 3.5”. At a 3” projection, the StepNpull® device falls within the standard projection range for commercial door handles and door stops. The StepNpull® device is designed to be mounted on the bottom corner of the door and close to the side and bottom of the door edges. It is safe and compatible with an open or closed shoe design because contact is made with the sole of the shoe by stepping down to engage grip.
This report does not describe an injury caused by the StepNpull® door opener. The report states the person’s toe was contacted by the StepNpull® device when opening a commercial door. Details are not provided on where the individual was standing and, more importantly, where her feet were positioned when the door was pulled open. It is evident that her foot was within the swinging path of the door, otherwise her toe would not have been struck by the StepNpull® device. If installed correctly, the StepNpull® does not extend the swing arch of the edge of the door. One requirement to safely and effectively pull open any door is that one must keep their feet clear of the door’s path to avoid stopping the door’s travel with their foot. The report also states the StepNpull® was mounted “about an inch or so above bottom of the door.” The StepNpull® installation instructions state that it should be mounted only 1/8” from the bottom edge of the door. For these reasons, the report does not demonstrate that the StepNpull® device was the cause of the injury and indicates that the device may not have been installed according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
