ABSTRACT:
A step stool includes a frame with a front leg and a rear leg pivotably coupled to the front leg for movement of the frame between an opened position and a collapsed position. The front leg includes opposite leg members, a handle portion extending between the leg members, and a step spaced-apart from the handle portion. In addition, the step stool includes a latch movably coupled to the handle portion. The latch is formed to engage the rear leg to block movement of the frame from the opened position toward the collapsed position.
