Herman Miller and Design Within Reach are recalling approximately 2,700 Nelson and Lauki dressers and cabinets because they are unstable and can tip over if not anchored to the wall. This defect poses a serious risk of entrapment or death to children, with one report of a tip-over incident already received. These high-end wood veneer and lacquered units were sold nationwide at stores like Design Within Reach and online from September 2010 through January 2020. Consumers can contact Herman Miller for a full refund and free pick-up of the recalled furniture.
The dressers and cabinets do not meet voluntary safety standards for stability and can tip over if not properly anchored to the wall. This can result in the heavy furniture falling onto a child, leading to serious crushing injuries, entrapment, or death.
Consumers should immediately stop using this or any recalled chest or cabinet if not properly anchored to the wall, place it in an area that children cannot access and contact Herman Miller to receive a full refund with free pick-up of the chest. Herman Miller is contacting all known purchasers directly.
