Bexco is recalling approximately 18,000 Million Dollar Baby "Emily" and "Ryan" style four-drawer dressers because they can tip over if a child climbs on the open drawers. There have been two tragic reports of deaths involving an 11-month-old boy and a 20-month-old girl who suffocated after being entrapped when the dressers tipped over. These dressers were sold at JCPenney, Amazon, BabiesRUs, and other retailers between January 2006 and June 2010. Consumers should immediately stop using the dressers and move them away from children until they are properly anchored to a wall.
The dresser can become unstable and tip over if a young child climbs on open drawers, posing a severe risk of entrapment and suffocation. Two children have died after being caught between the fallen dresser and the floor.
Consumers should immediately stop using and keep the dresser out of a child's reach. Consumers can contact Million Dollar Baby to receive a free retrofit kit that contains a wall anchor strap, which attaches to the dresser and wall to help prevent the dresser from tipping. The kits can be ordered by visiting the firm's website at www.themdbfamily.com/safety2 and click on Safety HQ or call toll-free at (888) 673-6652 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
