Alliance4Safety and 31 furniture-makers have announced a recall for millions of anti tip-over kits that have been sold with furniture since November 2019.
There were 2 reports of the plastic zip-tie in the anti-tip kit becoming brittle over time and breaking, which could allow a dresser or other heavy piece of furniture to tip over, causing severe injuries or death.
The risk of severe injury is greatest for young children, who are more likely to climb on furniture and cause it to tip over. They are also more likely to be crushed to death or suffocate after becoming trapped.
Adults may also be seriously injured or killed if the furniture tips over.
The recall involves plastic New Age furniture tip restraint kits that were sold by 31 furniture manufacturers after November 2019 in dressers and other clothing storage units.
