    The product, in the report: Acko Black 13” Folding Stepstool

    The product, in the report: It is a small pink and plastic stepping stool. You can find it on Amazon.

    Acko 9 Inches Pink Folding Step Stool with Anti-Slip Surface for Kids and Adults with Handle, Holds up to 250 LBS (Pink)

    I purchased it from Amazon, they are the ones that suggested I inform you.

    I wrote a review about this product as well on Amazon and I’ve informed the Seller Acko.

    So basically, I got up and stood on the stool to get something in the top kitchen cabinet and the thing collapsed with me on it. It is collapsible, but it opens and closes on hinges, plastic hinges. The whole thing is plastic I think. I ended up falling and twisting my ankle on the ground, which sent me to the [REDACTED] hospital, where they gave me some medicine and an ankle strap. They said I did something to my ligaments and my ankle is actually still swollen and hurt from it and that was weeks ago.
