Plain-English summary
South Shore Industries Ltd. is recalling Summer Breeze style 5-drawer chests of drawers sold in cherry wood. The recall involves approximately 3,500 units sold in the United States, with additional units sold in Canada and Mexico. The chests were sold at online retailers including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and Wayfair.com from April 2014 through December 2016 for about $160. The specific model number is 3746035, which is printed on a label on the back of the chest and on the assembly guide.
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 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.
Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled chest that is not properly anchored to the wall and place it in an area that children cannot access. Consumers can contact South Shore for a full refund with free pick-up of the chest or a free tip-over restraint kit with one-time in-home installation. South Shore is also contacting consumers who purchased the recalled chests directly.
