Pali Design is recalling approximately 18,000 armoires, combos, dressers, and hutches because the plastic restraint strap used to anchor the furniture to the wall can break. This defect allows heavy furniture units to tip over onto children. The recall affects several furniture collections including Karla, Mantova, Milano, Salerno, Volterra, Wendy, and West Point manufactured between January 2006 and September 2010. One incident has been reported where a restraint strap broke on a Wendy Double Dresser, though no injuries have occurred yet. Consumers should contact the company for a free repair kit with improved hardware.
If the plastic wall anchor strap breaks, the heavy furniture can tip over and fall on a child. This poses a serious risk of impact injuries, broken bones, and death by suffocation if a child becomes pinned under the weight of the unit.
Consumers should immediately place the recalled armoires, combos, dressers or hutches out of the reach of young children and contact Pali Design for a free retrofit kit that contains newly designed restraint straps, mounting hardware and installation instructions.
