Safavieh Lingerie Chests
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 a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard 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 F2057-14).
The Recall Registry rates this highest risk — A child can become trapped.
