Reviewed and published by MPB Safety Desk
Hazard

What parents need to know
This recall involves Mainstays nine-drawer fabric dressers, which have a black metal frame and nine brown or black fabric drawers with handles.
The dressers were recalled because they are unstable if not anchored to the wall, creating tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in serious injury or death to children. The dressers do not meet the mandatory safety standard required by the STURDY Act.
Walmart re-announced this recall because recalled dressers were distributed after the original recall and sold to consumers through liquidators. A dresser bought from a liquidator after the first announcement can still be one of the recalled units.
If you have one of these dressers and it is not anchored to the wall, stop using it immediately and place it in an area that children cannot access. Contact Walmart for a full refund. You will be asked to return the dresser's drawers to any Walmart store and dispose of the dresser's frame according to local and state regulations.
Check the official recall notice for the full details on identifying this dresser, including where to find the tracking, lot and manufacture date information, before taking action.
