What is the Problem?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recalled dressers are unstable if they are not properly anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in injuries or death to children. The CPSC cited the STURDY (Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth) Act as a reason for the recall. This law requires more substantial safety standards for clothing storage units regarding the following:
- Tests for stability when the unit is placed on carpeting
- Tests for stability with loaded drawers and with multiple drawers open
- Tests that simulate the weight of children up to 60 pounds interacting with the unit
