    The product, in the report: Range Kleen SS2 Double Step Stool, White

    Range Kleen SS2 Double Step Stool. It needs a child safety warning. It folds open and closed. There are rods inside the legs that that pieces rotate along. It doesn’t attach to the rods in one solid piece. There hinge pieces with spaces in between them all up and down the sides. When closed, these gaps are wider than when open. It opens and closes by having you pull up a handle sharply, causing it to quickly snap open and lock into place. You pull another handle similarly to close. My three year old daughter was opening it, but was holding onto it with her thumb inside one of the gaps. She opened it quickly, and her thumb became crushed and trapped inside. It captured her thumb very tightly, and it immediately began to swell. We weren’t sure if we could close it (thereby widening the gap) without hurting her more, so we cut through the plastic. At first I thought we might need the ER. It had cut into her thumb so deeply and swelled around it so much that it looked like deep cut rather than a crush injury. She was only trapped a few minutes. As the swelling reduced with the help of ice, it became clear that the skin was not cut, but it is deeply bruised. I checked, and my finger fits in the gap when open, too. I think it would have been worse if she had been 5, because the bigger the finger the more tightly it will crush down on the finger. Presumably there is a point at which it simply can’t close down on the finger, because it is too thick, but I’m not going to test that.
