Two dressers recalled for tip-over
Gizoon and Alanca six-drawer dressers fail the mandatory stability standard for clothing storage units. Both offer refunds, and both are unsafe unless anchored.
Topic
Product recalls
CPSC consumer product recalls.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission covers household goods, furniture, toys, electronics and anything with a battery. Its recall notices name the hazard, the units affected, where the product was sold and what the company will do about it, which is usually a refund, a repair or a replacement part.
Two hazards recur enough to be worth knowing about in advance. Chests of drawers that tip over when a child opens a drawer and climbs are covered by a mandatory stability standard, and lithium-ion batteries in portable products keep appearing for overheating and fire.
The remedy is set by the company that made the product, not by the shop that sold it, though the shop is usually where you take it back. The pages here carry current recalls, retailer-specific lists and what to do when a company has stopped trading.
