Approximately 310,000 South Shore Libra style 3-drawer chests are being recalled because they are unstable if not anchored to a wall. One fatality involving a two-year-old child and two other incidents involving tip-overs have been reported. The chests were sold in nine different colors at retailers including Walmart.com, Amazon.com, and Target.com between October 2009 and July 2018. Consumers are offered a choice of a full refund with free pick-up, a refund by mailing in drawer slides, or a free tip-over restraint kit with professional installation.
The chests can tip over if they are not anchored to a wall, posing a serious risk of entrapment and death, especially for children who may climb on or pull at the drawers. One child has died and another was injured by a falling chest.
Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled chest that is not properly anchored to the wall, and place it in an area that children cannot access. Consumers should contact South Shore to select one of the following recall options: Consumers can receive a full refund with free pick-up of the chest; Consumers can also remove the drawer slides from one side of the chest and receive packaging along with a prepaid shipping label from the company to mail in the drawer slides for a full refund; or Consumers can receive a free tip-over restraint kit and can request a one-time free in-home installation of the kit
