Dorel Home Furnishings Recalls Cosco 2-Step Kitchen Steppers Due to Serious Fall and Injury Risk
If you or a loved one were injured while using a recalled Cosco kitchen stepper, call the Law Offices of Jason Turchin at (800) 337-7755 for a free consultation. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and related expenses.
Widespread Recall Alert: Over 300,000 Cosco Kitchen Steppers Recalled Due to Faulty Safety Bar
On July 31, 2025, Dorel Home Furnishings announced a major recall involving approximately 302,000 Cosco 2-Step Kitchen Steppers in the United States and an additional 11,000 in Canada. The recall stems from a defect in the safety bar, which can detach or break during use—posing a serious fall hazard to consumers.
The kitchen stepper, commonly used in homes for reaching high shelves or performing routine tasks, is now linked to multiple injury incidents, including two reports of head trauma. Consumers are urged to stop using the product immediately and request a free repair kit from Dorel.
Recalled Models and How to Identify Them
The recall covers multiple color and model variations of the Cosco 2-Step Kitchen Stepper, a lightweight, foldable stepstool with a two-step design and safety bar.
Affected model numbers include:
- 11349WHG1E
- 11349GRN1E
- 11349NVY1E
- 11349WHG2
- 11349GRN4
- 11349GRN12
- 11349WHG12C
- 11349WHG12W
- 11349WHG4F
- 11349CBWH4T
Color options include:
- White/Gray
- Green
- Navy
- Blue
Look for the Cosco logo molded onto the handle, and find the model number on a label attached to one of the arms of the stepper.
The product was sold between February 2021 and July 2025 at major retailers including Target, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, and BJ’s Wholesale Club, and through online sellers such as Amazon, Wayfair, and Overstock, typically priced between $56 and $70.
What’s the Hazard?
The safety bar, intended to provide additional support and stability, may allegedly detach or break off during use. This unexpected failure can cause users to lose balance and fall, especially when stepping down or shifting their weight. The hazard is particularly serious for older adults, children, or those using the stepper in tight or elevated spaces like kitchens or pantries.
Reported Incidents Allegedly Include:
- 34 reports of the safety bar breaking or detaching
- 2 reports of head injuries
- Additional unreported falls and near-misses are likely
What Should You Do?
If you own one of the recalled Cosco kitchen steppers:
- Stop using the safety bar immediately.
- Store the stepper in a safe location away from children.
- Contact Dorel to request a free repair kit, which includes:
- A sliding locking mechanism to secure the safety bar
- Installation instructions
- An updated warning label

Product Liability: Know Your Rights
When a product fails under normal use and causes injury, the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer may be legally responsible. Under product liability law, you may be eligible for compensation if you were injured due to:
- Defective design
- Manufacturing flaws
- Lack of proper warnings or instructions
In this case, the detaching safety bar undermines the very purpose of the kitchen stepper—stability and safety. If you experienced a fall or injury while using this product, even if you weren’t aware of the recall at the time, you may still have a valid claim.
What Compensation Might Be Available?
If you or a loved one were injured while using a recalled Cosco kitchen stepper, compensation may be available for:
- Medical expenses (ER visits, X-rays, follow-up care, physical therapy)
- Lost wages from missed work
- Pain and suffering
- Permanent disability or scarring
- Out-of-pocket costs (replacing damaged property, transportation to appointments)
Even seemingly minor falls can lead to long-term complications, especially in older adults or those with preexisting conditions. A qualified product liability attorney can help you pursue justice and fair compensation.

FAQs About the Cosco Stepper Recall
How do I know if my stepper is included in the recall?
Check the model number label on one of the arms. If it matches one of the ten model numbers listed above and includes a safety bar, it is likely subject to the recall.
Can I still use the stepper without the safety bar?
No. Until the repair kit is installed, the stepper should not be used. Without proper support, it may become unstable.
What if I was injured before or after the recall was announced?
You may still have the right to file a personal injury claim. The recall is proof that the company acknowledged a safety issue.
Is there a cost for the repair kit?
Dorel should provide the repair kit free of charge, including shipping.
Do I need proof of purchase to get the kit?
In most cases, proof of purchase is not required. However, having the model number and photos of the product can help expedite the process.
