Local news sources stated that a recall was issued by the Midwest Folding Products company citing the risks of injury or death due to unsecured stage and caddy risers. Reports said that the recall affects 5300 units and was influenced byt the death of a 3-year old girl in May 2011 who was crushed by a falling portion of a portable stage that may not have been secured.
Sources claim that the stage and riser caddies do not have safety latches that automatically close when the products are being stored which can pose a serious risk for consumers. Consumers who purchased these products are allegedly able to contact Midwest Folding Products for a repair kit.
