Bolton Furniture Recalls 4-Drawer Dressers Due to Tip-Over Hazards

Bolton Furniture is recalling approximately 1,000 4-drawer dressers because they pose a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard to children if not anchored to the wall.

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 'can result in death or injuries to children' and describes it as a 'serious tip-over and entrapment hazard,' which aligns with the rubric criteria for Severe (4) involving significant injury or death potential, even though no injuries have been reported yet.

Plain-English summary

Bolton Furniture is recalling approximately 1,000 two-over-two style 4-drawer dressers. The recalled models include the Cambridge 8614, Emma 8314, Essex 6614, Wakefield 8014, and Woodridge 8414. These dressers were sold in cherry, chestnut, espresso, honey, ivory, natural, and white finishes. Model names and numbers are located on the QC/production sticker on the back of the dresser.

The dressers are unstable if not anchored to the wall, creating a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard that can result in death or injuries to children. The products do not comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard ASTM F2057-14. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The dressers were sold at Full Line Furniture and children's specialty stores nationwide, as well as online at Amazon.com, Overstock.com, Target.com, ToysRUs.com, Wayfair.com, Zulilly.com, and other online retailers from February 2011 to October 2016 for about $700. Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled dresser that is not properly anchored to the wall and place it in an area where children cannot access it. Consumers should contact Bolton Furniture for a free retrofit kit, which they can install themselves or have installed for free by Bolton Furniture.
