Shower stools are designed to provide support and stability for individuals who need assistance while bathing—whether due to injury, disability, or age-related mobility issues. Unfortunately, many of these stools, often sold at pharmacies and medical supply stores, have faulty designs that put users at serious risk of injury.
Instead of offering safety, some shower stools are prone to breaking, collapsing, or becoming unstable when weight is applied. Common issues include:
Weak or flimsy materials that crack under pressure
Poor leg support leads to wobbling or tipping
Slippery surfaces that fail to provide a secure grip
Assembly flaws that cause unexpected collapses
A defective shower stool can cause severe injuries, including:
Falls leading to broken bones or fractures
Head injuries from sudden collapses
Cuts and bruises from sharp edges or broken parts
For individuals who are already vulnerable, such accidents can result in long recovery times, additional medical expenses, and even permanent mobility issues.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to a faulty shower stool, you may have legal options. Manufacturers and retailers have a responsibility to ensure their products are safe. If they fail to do so, they could be held liable for your injuries.
