South Shore is recalling approximately 68,300 Summer Breeze style 5-drawer chests. These chests are unstable if not anchored to a wall, which can lead to the unit tipping over. This poses a serious risk of entrapment that can cause death or serious injuries to children. The affected chests were sold in four colors (Royal Cherry, Blueberry, Chocolate, and White) through online retailers including Amazon, Walmart, and Wayfair between February 2005 and December 2016. Consumers can receive a full refund, a free tip-over restraint kit, or free in-home installation of the restraint kit.
The chests are unstable and do not meet industry safety standards for stability when not anchored to a wall. This can result in the chest tipping over onto a child, potentially causing suffocation or crushing injuries from entrapment under the 88-pound unit.
Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled chest that is not properly anchored to the wall and place it into an area that children cannot access. Contact South Shore for a full refund or a free tip-over restraint kit. Consumers who are unable or unwilling to install the tip restraint kit should contact South Shore for a free one-time in-home installation of the kit.
