    The product, in the report: 13” step stool

    I was standing on stool doing some house work and my foot went through the middle of the stool and broke the stool. I fell backwards and hit my back on the door frame. I was standing in a small hallway. I had a bruise on my lower back for about a week. My ankle bone was sore because it went thru the stool.
