What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states the hazard 'could result in death or serious injuries to children,' which aligns with the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating involving significant injury reports or potential for serious harm.
Plain-English summary
Sauder Woodworking is recalling approximately 8,000 four-drawer wooden chests sold under the Storybook brand (model 416407). These white laminated chests were sold exclusively online at Walmart.com from April 2016 through June 2016 for about $100. The chests were manufactured between April 2016 and June 2016 and feature a single white wood pull on each drawer. A label with the date code in MM/YYYY format is located on the back of the unit.
The recalled chests are unstable unless properly anchored to the wall, posing a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard that could result in death or serious injuries to children. Due to a manufacturing problem, these chests do not comply with the voluntary safety standard ASTM F2057-14. No injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled chests that are not properly anchored to the wall and place them in an area that children cannot access. Sauder Woodworking is contacting known purchasers directly to send free repair kits and wall anchoring kits. If a consumer is unable or unwilling to attach the repair kit, they should contact Sauder Woodworking for a full refund. Consumers who request a refund will be provided instructions on how to properly dispose of the chests.
