The hazard

According to the CPSC, the recalled dressers and cabinets are unstable and can tip over if not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children. The chests do not comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard (ASTM F2057-19). Herman Miller has received one report of a tip-over with no injuries or property damage, and no other incidents have been reported.

Context

GovInfoNow's records show that Aitjunz recalled an 8-drawer dresser on September 24, 2026, due to a tip-over hazard, and Romorgniz recalled a six-drawer dresser on October 8, 2026, for the same reason. Wade Logan also recalled Annyka 9-drawer dressers on July 16, 2026, citing a tip-over risk for children.

How to tell if you have this one

Check for labels inside an upper drawer to identify the product number. Nelson units include Thin Edge Chests, Buffets, and Basic Cabinet Series in oak, walnut, ash, or santos palisander. Lauki units are 32", 47", or 60" dressers in colors like Glacier Grey, Graphite, White, Oak, or Walnut.
