The Hazard
CLASS 1 WARNING: TIP-OVER AND ENTRAPMENT
AOWOS is recalling their 12-drawer dressers. These dressers can tip over if they are not attached to the wall. This poses a serious risk of injury or death to children. Stop using the dresser immediately if it is not anchored.
None reported
Why This Happens: Technical Breakdown
These dressers are unstable. If a child climbs on or pulls on the drawers, the dresser can fall over. This can trap the child underneath, leading to serious injuries or even death. The dressers do not meet safety standards for clothing storage units.
These dressers are made with a metal frame and fabric drawers. This design may not be as stable as solid wood dressers. The weight of the drawers, combined with a child’s weight, can easily cause the dresser to tip. Anchoring the dresser to the wall is crucial to prevent accidents.
