  1. No one hurt

    Made May 17, 2012, sent to the company Jun 5, 2012, published by CPSC Jun 19, 2012

    The product, in the report: 9” black stepstool with white polka dots on top. Folds for storage with a handle to carry when folded.

    I have the 9” step stool made by Kennedy Intl. I have had it for about a year, and bought it at Bed Bath & Beyond. The top cracked next to the handle and caved in when I stepped on it. I am well under the 300 pound weight limit that the sticker says!!! I saw a sign today at TJ Maxx (not where I bought it) that it has been recalled for just this reason. I called Bed Bath and Beyond but they said it was not recalled, so they must not know yet!
