Bestar Recalls Juvenile Dressers Due to Tip-Over Hazard

Plain-English summary

Bestar Inc. is recalling juvenile dressers sold in the United States and Canada. The recall involves Bestar Dream Dressers, which are five-drawer units sold as part of a children's bedroom set in brown and white. Approximately 26 units were sold in the US and about 250 in Canada between June 2014 and October 2015 for about $300.

The recalled dressers are unstable, posing a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard that can result in death or serious injuries to children. Health Canada has received one report of a child in Canada receiving cuts and bruises from a dresser that tipped over without a restraint strap attached. No injuries have been reported in the United States.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dressers and place them in areas where children cannot access them. Bestar is offering a free repair kit that includes boards, screws, a metal bracket tip-over restraint, a power drill, drill bit, new feet, and warning labels. Free in-home installation is available, or Bestar will pick up the dresser and provide a full refund if the consumer cannot or does not wish to install the kit.
