Kirkland's Chests of Drawers Due to Tip-Over and Entrapment Hazards
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The recalled chests are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children. The dressers do not comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard (ASTM 2057-17).
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — A child can become trapped.
