Target is recalling about 175,000 Room Essentials 4-drawer dressers in the United Stated and about 3,000 units in Canada.
The dressers are unstable if they’re not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children.
The firm has received 12 reports of dressers tipping or collapsing, including tipping over on two three-year-old children. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Room Essentials 4-drawer dressers sold in three colors. The dressers measure 41 7/8 inches tall by 31 ½ inches wide by 15 11/16 inches deep. Model number 249-05-0103, black; 249-05-0106, espresso; or 249-05-0109, maple, is printed on the product’s packaging.
The dressers were sold only at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com from January 2013 through April 2016 for about $118.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dresser that isn’t properly anchored to the wall and place it into an area that children can’t access, Target and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise. Consumers should return the recalled dresser to any Target store for a full refund.
