Millions of New Age Furniture Tip Restraint Kits Recalled for Tip-Over and Entrapment Hazard

Plastic New Age furniture tip restraint kits can break or become brittle, allowing anchored clothing storage units to detach and tip over, creating a hazard to children. Consumers should check manufacture dates and contact Alliance4Safety for free replacements.

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 hazard involves a risk-of-harm product (furniture tip-over and entrapment to children) with the potential for serious injury or death. Although no injuries have been reported to date, the source explicitly describes the hazard as capable of resulting in "death or serious injuries to children," placing this in the High category per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

This recall involves millions of plastic New Age furniture tip restraint kits sold with clothing storage units by 31 furniture companies through furniture stores nationwide and online from November 2019 to present. The kits consist of a plastic zip-tie, two brackets, and two screws manufactured by New Age Industries Co. LTD of Vietnam.

The plastic zip-tie in the restraint kits can become brittle or break, which can allow a clothing storage unit anchored to the wall to detach during a furniture tip-over event. This poses a tip-over and entrapment hazard that can result in death or serious injuries to children. Furniture companies have received two reports of the tip kits breaking, although no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately check if their clothing storage unit has a manufacture date of November 2019 or later. If the tip kit is made of plastic, consumers should contact Alliance4Safety for a free replacement kit. Keep children away from the unit while waiting for a replacement tip kit.
