Sauder Woodworking is recalling about 8,000 Storybook brand four-drawer wooden chests (model 416407). These white laminated chests, sold exclusively at walmart.com between April and June 2016 for approximately $100, are unstable and do not meet voluntary safety standards for stability. If the chest is not anchored to a wall, it can tip over, which could trap, injure, or kill a child. Sauder is providing free repair and wall anchoring kits to all known purchasers, or a full refund if the kit cannot be used.
The chest is unstable and can tip over if it is not properly anchored to a wall. This poses a serious risk of entrapment, resulting in suffocation, serious injury, or death to children if the unit falls on them.
Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled chests that are not properly anchored to the wall and place them in an area that children cannot access. Sauder Woodworking is contacting all known purchasers directly and sending free repair kits and wall anchoring kits. If a consumer is unable or unwilling to attach the repair kit, they should contact Sauder Woodworking for a full refund. Consumers who request a refund will be provided instructions by Sauder on how to properly dispose of the chests. CPSC strongly recommends that all dressers be anchored to the wall.
