Tip-Over Restraint Kits Recalled Due to Brittle Plastic Zip Tie, Entrapment Hazard

Tip-over restraint kits are being recalled because the plastic zip tie can become brittle or break, potentially allowing clothing storage units to tip over or trap children. No injuries have been reported.

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 rubric designates 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported' as High (score 3). The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and although the hazard poses potential for serious injury or death through entrapment and tip-over to children, no actual incidents have occurred.

Plain-English summary

American Bolt and Screw is recalling tip-over restraint kits that were distributed with clothing storage units, including chests and dressers manufactured by Canyon Furniture. The recalled kits were sold through Rooms To Go stores and online (www.RoomsToGo.com) from July 2023 through May 2024. Each kit contains a plastic zip tie, two white plastic brackets, four screws, two white plastic drywall anchors, and an instruction sheet, packaged in a red plastic bag. The kits were manufactured in June 2023 or January 2024.

The plastic zip tie used in the kits can become brittle or break over time. When this occurs, the clothing storage unit that is anchored to the wall can detach, creating a tip-over and entrapment hazard that poses a risk of death or serious injury, particularly to children.

Approximately 12,890 units are being recalled. Consumers should contact American Bolt and Screw at [email protected] or visit www.ABStipoverecall.com or https://absfasteners.com/ (click "ABS Recalls" at the bottom) to request a free replacement kit. All known purchasers are being contacted directly by the company. Consumers can also contact Rooms To Go at 855-688-0919 (Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET) or [email protected] to determine if their storage unit is affected. Until a replacement kit is installed, keep children away from the unit. Once the replacement kit has been installed, dispose of the recalled restraint kit in household trash.
