Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

IKEA is recalling approximately 820,000 KULLEN 3-drawer chests because they are unstable and can tip over if not anchored to a wall. The recall includes chests sold in birch and black-brown colors that weigh about 45 pounds and stand 28 3/8 inches tall. IKEA has received six reports of these chests tipping over, resulting in two reports of minor cuts and bruises to children. Consumers can choose between a full refund with free pick-up or a free wall-anchoring kit with a one-time free in-home installation service.

Risk

The chest can become unstable and tip forward if it is not secured to a wall, particularly when drawers are pulled out or a child attempts to climb it. This poses a serious risk of entrapment, injury, or death to children who may be crushed or pinned by the falling furniture.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your furniture to see if you have a KULLEN 3-drawer chest by looking for the IKEA logo and 'KULLEN' printed on the underside of the top panel or inside the side panel.
  2. Verify if your chest is affected by checking for article numbers 600-930-58 (birch), 501-637-54 (black-brown), or 803-221-34 (black-brown).
  3. If the chest is not properly anchored to the wall, immediately stop using it and move it to an area that is completely inaccessible to children.
  4. Contact IKEA at 888-966-4532 from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. ET or visit www.IKEA-USA.com/secureit to request a full refund (including free pick-up) or a free wall-anchoring repair kit with a one-time free in-home installation service.
  5. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this safety recall.
