    My son was playing with the Step2 Prepare and Share Kitchen. He pulled the stove door open and stood on it which resulted in the entire kitchen tipping over on top of him. He was, of course, scared but not seriously injured. He only sustained a scratch to his face. Shortly after, this happened again. I was, however, right next to him and caught the kitchen in time before it fell completely on top of him.

    I’m relieved to report that he has not been seriously injured, however, I do think the manufacturer should strongly consider changing the door design to collapse all the way to the floor.
