Dania Furniture Recalls Hayden Bookcase Due to Tip-Over Hazard

Dania Furniture is recalling about 940 Hayden Bookcases sold from November 2017 through February 2024 because the bookcase can tip over and cause entrapment injuries if not anchored to the wall. A 4-year-old child died from a tip-over incident in August 2023.

What this means for you

Highest-severity recall. Risk of serious injury or death is documented or strongly suspected. Stop using the product now and follow the agency's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: A known fatality is documented in the source text: a 4-year-old child died from a tip-over incident in August 2023. Per the severity rubric, reported deaths result in a Critical score regardless of other factors.

Plain-English summary

Dania Furniture, of Boise, Idaho, is recalling about 940 Hayden Bookcases. The recalled bookcase is made of brown wood with three sliding white doors, measures 35.5 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and 73 inches tall, and contains six storage cubbies. It has a label on the back with the product name and SKU number LB2225/A.

The bookcase is unstable if not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or serious injuries to children. In August 2023, Dania Furniture received one report of a tip-over incident with an unanchored bookcase that resulted in the death of a 4-year-old child.

About 940 of these bookcases were sold exclusively at Dania Furniture stores nationwide and online at https://daniafurniture.com/ from November 2017 through February 2024 for about $370.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bookcase if it is not anchored to the wall and place it in an area that children cannot access. Contact Dania Furniture at 844-722-6347 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT Monday–Friday), [email protected], or https://daniafurniture.com/pages/safety-recalls to set up free in-home installation of a tip-over restraint kit. If anchoring cannot be completed or consumers prefer a refund, Dania Furniture will provide a full refund upon return and arrange pickup and disposal.
