What is the Problem?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recalled dressers are unstable if not properly anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards. The CPSC recall stated, “The dressers violate the STURDY Act’s performance and warning label requirements.” STURDY stands for “Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth.” Under the STURDY Act, the following criteria must be met:
- Stability when the unit is on carpet
- Stability with loaded drawers and with multiple drawers open
- A 60-pound child interacting with the unit
The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the dressers immediately.
