The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled 116,908 TOMY Boon PIVOT Collapsible Toddler Tower Kitchen Step Stools due to a tip-over and fall hazard that poses a risk of serious injury or death. Families with this product should stop using it immediately.

The stool was sold at Amazon, Target, and Babylist between January 2023 and June 2026 for approximately $150. The CPSC and TOMY have received 11 reports of the stools becoming unstable or leaning. No injuries have been reported as of the recall announcement, but the potential for serious harm is the reason the recall was issued.

What to Do If You Have This Product

Stop using the stool immediately. Do not let your child stand on it until the stabilizing repair has been completed. Contact TOMY to receive a free stabilizing repair part and instructions. Once the repair is installed, the stool is considered safe to use again.

Part of a Larger Pattern — 11 Toddler Tower Recalls Since 2025

The TOMY Boon PIVOT recall is not an isolated event. Since September 2025, the CPSC has recalled toddler towers and kitchen step stools from 11 different brands. Across all 11 recalls, a combined 434,176 units have been recalled. The CPSC has documented 141 safety incidents and 54 child injuries across those brands.

Consumer Reports has been tracking this trend and is publicly pushing the CPSC to finalize a mandatory safety standard for toddler towers and kitchen step stools. As of this writing, no mandatory standard exists for this product category, meaning manufacturers set their own specifications for stability and structural integrity. The series of recalls suggests that the current approach is not adequate.

In the absence of a mandatory standard, the safest approach for families is to check all kitchen step stools and learning towers they own against the CPSC recall list at cpsc.gov, regardless of brand. If your tower is not currently recalled, the Consumer Reports guidance is to still be cautious: test stability before each use, supervise closely when children are standing on the platform, and avoid allowing children to use the tower unsupervised.

What's Next

The CPSC continues to accept incident reports for this and other recalled products. Families who have experienced a tip-over incident with any toddler tower — recalled or not — can report it at saferproducts.gov. Consumer Reports expects the CPSC to issue a proposed mandatory safety standard for toddler towers in the coming months. COS Parenting will track that development and publish an update when a standard is finalized.
