Wal-Mart Stores Inc.’s American arm Walmart is recalling 46,300 tripod stools because of a flaw in the plastic collar that connects the three legs that can break, causing a fall hazard. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said consumers should immediately stop using the stools and return them for a full refund. The stools are made in China by Mahco Inc. of Bentonville, Arkansas, and have three steel legs and a realtree logo polyester fabric seat. They were sold exclusively at Walmart stores and online from June through August 2016 for about $6 a piece. No accidents or injuries have been reported, said the CPSC. Wal-Mart shares are down 1.7% Thursday, but have gained 15% in the year so far, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average has gained 4%.
