Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bernhardt is recalling approximately 1,700 Marquesa mirrored dressers and nightstands because they are unstable and can tip over if they are not properly anchored to a wall. The company has received two reports of units tipping over when drawers were opened, including one report of an adult suffering an arm bruise and neck stiffness. These pieces of furniture have a gray cashmere finish and mirrored glass drawer fronts with metal overlays. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and contact Bernhardt for a free repair kit that includes a counterweight and wall anchor.

Risk

The dressers and nightstands are unstable and can tip over when the drawers are opened if they are not securely anchored to a wall. This poses a serious risk of entrapment, injury, or death, particularly to children who might be crushed by the falling furniture.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the back of your dresser or nightstand for a white label containing the series and style numbers. Look for series '359' followed by style number '044' for the Marquesa Dresser or '234' for the Marquesa Nightstand.
  2. Immediately stop using any affected dresser or nightstand that is not properly anchored to the wall and move it to an area where children cannot access it.
  3. Contact the furniture store where you purchased the item or Bernhardt Furniture Company to request a free counterweight repair kit and wall anchor.
  4. Schedule a free in-home installation of the counterweight and wall anchor kit by contacting Bernhardt toll-free at 844-288-5295 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.bernhardt.com by clicking the 'Recall Alert' link.
