What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (tip-over hazard) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Linon Home Décor Products Inc. is recalling Cynthia style 5-drawer dressers due to a tip-over hazard. The dressers measure 40.25 inches tall by 17 inches wide by 13.5 inches deep and were sold in a cream color. The recalled chests are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, which poses a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard that can result in death or injuries to children. No injuries have been reported.

About 200 units of the dressers were sold exclusively at Wayfair.com from September 2015 to August 2016 for about $150. The dressers were manufactured in Vietnam.

Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled chest that is not properly anchored to the wall and place it into an area that children cannot access. Consumers should contact Linon Home for a full refund or a tip-restraint kit. Those unable or unwilling to install the kit should contact Linon for instructions or additional assistance. The firm is contacting all known purchasers directly.
