The CPSC, Health Canada, and Kennedy International Inc., announced the voluntary recall of folding step stools.

These stools can collapse or break unexpectedly during use, and the reports that New Jersey based Kennedy International received, included a few injury reports also. Consumers should stop using these stools, and apply for a full refund. You can find more recall details here.

It should be remembered that it is illegal to sell any recalled products.

Sure Fit has been providing slipcovers for sofas and chairs for years. It's newest introduction is not a different style, but a different category: slipcovers and cushions for wheelchairs.

These slipcovers go beyond simple cosmetic cover ups by providing greater functionality. They offer greater comfort, support and hygienic solutions for users who are wheelchair bound.

Designed to fit standard manual wheel and desk manual wheel chairs, the covers fit seat sizes 16" x 16" and 18" x 16". The quilted backs and arms are padded for extra comfort, and the dual sided seat has memory foam padding on one side and support foam on the other. There is a storage pocket on the side.

You are not restricted to just one color, as there are four color choices. The 100% cotton twill covers are machine washable and treated with ScotchGuard stain release.

Today's homes are smaller, but that's alright. We want them that way.

Recent studies show that while home ownership is important, we are not willing to pay extra for larger homes. We just want them more efficient and stylish.

Multipurpose rooms, smart products, style and storage are very important to consumers, with style ranking high.

Not surprisingly, the two most popular furnishing styles today are Mid-century Modern and Transitional. Both have clean lines and smaller profiles.

And the love for furnishing with Mid-century modern design is not just limited to a home's interior, outdoor furniture also reflects those trends.
