Emergency room Made Jul 19, 2011, published by CPSC Aug 10, 2011
The product, in the report: Tricam: 2 step stool, model TR 1W
Product: Stool by Tricam, model TR 1W, 2 steps
I opened the above stool placing it next to my car so that I could reach the top of the car while washing it. I had used this stool many times before in this same capacity without a problem. This time, as I reached the top step , a wet sponge in one hand, the hose spray nozzle in the other, the stool collapsed beneath me. The entire stool frame had bent 5 to 10 degree to one side and I noted that one of the stool legs was bent inward! ( I weigh about 160 lbs.) This step stool does not have a locking step and I feel that this is why the stool was able to collapse. I believe it and others without a locking step should be taken off the market.
