Magnussen Home Nova Series 5-Drawer Chests 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 tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or serious injuries to children. The chests do not comply with the performance requirements of the voluntary industry standard ASTM F2057-19.
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — A child can become trapped.
