The product, in the report: Model #LP01711 [REDACTED] Color: Natural Brand: Little Partners Date Code: 202508
I am reporting a serious safety incident involving a Little Partners Foldable Toddler Tower.
My 26-month-old child, who weighs approximately 27 pounds, was standing on the tower platform at our kitchen island when the platform suddenly gave way, causing him to fall through the opening. The product is advertised with a weight capacity of 75 pounds, meaning my child was well below the stated limit at the time of the incident.
We purchased two Little Partners Foldable Toddler Towers in April 2025. Both towers became defective within approximately one year of normal household use. By May 2026, both towers had developed loose screws and stability issues.
The original towers were part of a recall. Little Partners sent replacement parts, and we completed the recommended repairs according to the company’s instructions. However, less than one month after performing the recall repair, the platform failure occurred and my child fell through the tower.
Following the incident, I contacted Little Partners and reported the failure. The company responded by sending two complete replacement towers. Unfortunately, both replacement products arrived with significant quality and safety concerns: 1. The first replacement tower arrived with multiple loose screws that could not be tightened properly as all of the screws were stripped from the manufacturer. As a result, the platform remains unstable and wobbly. 2. The second replacement tower arrived missing two internal stability components, making it incomplete and raising additional safety concerns.
Based on my experience with two original towers and two replacement towers, I am extremely concerned about the overall design, manufacturing quality, and safety of this product. The fact that both original towers became defective, one failed after a recall repair, and both replacement units arrived with defects suggests a broader quality-control issue.
This product is marketed for toddlers and young children, yet my child experienced a fall due to platform failure while using the product as intended and while significantly below the advertised weight limit. I believe this product presents a substantial risk of injury to children and warrants further investigation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
I am submitting this report so that the safety of this product can be reviewed and appropriate action can be considered to prevent injuries to other children.

Emergency room Made Jul 30, 2013, sent to the company Aug 7, 2013, published by CPSC Aug 28, 2013
The product, in the report: Little Partners Learning Tower
We have 2 Little Partners Learning Towers that are used by our grandson. The towers function very well for his use. However the design of the stability feet are a tripping hazard. Multiple people at our house and our daughters home have tripped over the extended feet. On July 28, 2013 this became a bigger issue for me as I tripped on the stability foot and broke a toe. An minor emergency room visit was necessary to diagnose the broken toe and it was tape up. This caused considerable pain and I will be having to keep the toe taped up for several weeks and take care as the toe heals.
The design of the Little Partners Learning Tower has safety feet that you assemble onto the tower when you put the tower together. These safety feet extend beyond the bottoms of the tower into areas people walk around the tower. Many people in the two households have banged their feet into these extended feet many times, this time it resulted in a broken toe.
Today I contacted Little Partners thru their web site: www.littlepartners.com explaining what was happening with these extended safety feet. [REDACTED] replied the following: “Dear [REDACTED], I am so sorry to hear about your toe, and I thank you for contacting us with your question. Our product is not in recall. As indicated in the assembly instructions, Part B is an optional part. It was produced as an option for additional stability. The Learning Tower has been tested and has met all safety standards both with and without this additional part. Please feel free to remove the extra feet if they are not working well for your family.
