The product, in the report: Camo collapsible stool with back. Rothco item #4588
The store I was shopping at had a collapsible stool with a back out as a floor display. I went to try out the stool and leaned into the back rest when the chair suddenly collapsed causing me to fall back and hit my head against the concrete floor surface.
According to their website the Rothco item #4588 is heavy duty and holds up to 198 lbs. I am 5’7” and weighed 225 when I sat in the stool. I believe there is a design flaw that is unsafe and that the stools should be recalled for safety reasons. It is designed with just one on the 3 legs supporting the back side of the chair. The leg bent off where the round bracket is that keeps the 3 legs together.
There are no warning signs as to the low weight capacity on the product tag, label or stool itself.
