Adjustable Swivel Shop Stool Recall Overview

Northern Tool + Equipment has recalled its Adjustable Swivel Shop Stools with Backrests due to a significant fall hazard. The recall was initiated after reports that the stool’s welds can break, causing the stool to collapse unexpectedly. This defect poses a risk of falls and serious injuries to users. The affected stools were sold through Northern Tool + Equipment’s stores, catalogs, and online platform.

Recalled Product Details:

• Product Name: Adjustable Swivel Shop Stools with Backrests

Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled stools immediately and contact Northern Tool + Equipment for a free repair or replacement. Continuing to use the defective stools can result in severe injuries.

Understanding Product Liability in Fall Hazard Cases

Product liability law holds manufacturers and retailers responsible when their products cause harm due to defects. In the case of the adjustable swivel shop stool recall, victims who suffered injuries may be able to file claims under the following categories:

1. Design Defect: If the stool’s design inherently makes it prone to weld failure under normal use, it may be considered a design defect.

2. Manufacturing Defect: A manufacturing defect occurs when the product deviates from its intended design due to errors during production. If faulty welding caused certain stools to collapse, this constitutes a manufacturing defect.

3. Failure to Warn: If Northern Tool + Equipment did not adequately warn consumers about the risk of weld failure, they could be held liable under failure-to-warn claims.

Compensation for Injuries from Defective Shop Stools

If you or someone you care about were injured due to a defective adjustable swivel shop stool, you may be entitled to compensation for:

· Medical Expenses: This includes emergency care, doctor visits, physical therapy, and any ongoing treatment required for injuries sustained in the fall.

· Lost Wages: If the injury caused you to miss work or resulted in long-term disability, you may recover compensation for lost wages and diminished earning capacity.

· Pain and Suffering: Injuries from stool collapses can lead to significant physical pain and emotional distress. Compensation may cover both physical and emotional suffering.

· Property Damage: If the defective stool caused damage to other property, you may be eligible for reimbursement for repair or replacement costs.

· Punitive Damages: In cases where the manufacturer’s negligence was especially severe, the court may award punitive damages to penalize the company and deter similar behavior in the future.

Steps to Take If You’ve Been Injured by a Defective Shop Stool

If you or a loved one were injured while using a recalled adjustable swivel shop stool, it’s important to take the following steps to protect your legal rights:

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention: Prioritize your health by seeking treatment for any injuries and keeping all medical records.

2. Document the Incident: Take photos of the defective stool, the scene of the incident, and any injuries sustained. Write down a detailed account of what happened.

3. Preserve the Product: Keep the defective stool in its current condition, along with any purchase receipts or packaging. This evidence is critical for building your case.

4. Report the Issue: Notify Northern Tool + Equipment about the incident and follow the recall instructions for repairs or replacements. File a report with the CPSC to document the hazard.

5. Consult an Experienced Product Liability Attorney: An experienced product liability attorney can guide you through the legal process, gather evidence, and represent your interests in negotiations or court proceedings.
