Some parents love kitchen steppers because they allow toddlers to join them at the counter for things like food prep, eating, or other activities. A popular model, the Cosco 2-Step Kitchen Stepper, was just recalled by Dorel Home Furnishings.[1]
This particular Cosco stepper has a safety bar that can detach or break off while it's being used, which can put little kiddos at major risk of falling or getting other injuries.
If your little one uses this kitchen stepper to help you with meals (or if you're like my daughter, do pretty much everything from painting to eating), here's what to do to make sure yours is safe to use going forward.
What to do if you have a recalled Cosco 2-Step Kitchen Stepper

The Cosco company has received 34 reports of the safety bars on the steppers coming off or breaking while a child was using them, and some of the incidents caused serious head injuries.[2]

What to do if you have a recalled Cosco 2-Step Kitchen Stepper
If you have a recalled stepper, stop using it and store it somewhere out of your child's reach. Next, fill out this form on the Cosco website so you can get a repair kit in the mail.
Once you fill out the form with your contact information, where you purchased the stepper from, and your product's model number, they'll send you the repair kit. It includes a sliding locking mechanism that attaches to the safety bar to prevent the safety bar from coming detached and to prevent it from breaking while your child is using it.
The kit will include instructions on how to install the new piece, plus Cosco contact information in case you need help installing it. You can always call their customer service at 1-888-628-3778 to get more information or for any additional questions along the way.
