South Shore is recalling approximately 3,500 Summer Breeze style 5-drawer chests of drawers sold in cherry wood. These chests are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing a serious tip-over and entrapment risk that can result in death or injuries to children. The chests do not comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard. The affected units were sold at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Wayfair.com, and other online retailers from April 2014 through December 2016. Consumers can choose between a full refund with free pick up or a free tip-over restraint kit with a one-time in-home installation.
The chest can tip over if it is not anchored to the wall, which can trap a child underneath the heavy furniture, leading to serious injury or death from suffocation or blunt force trauma.
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 choice between two options: full refund with free pick up of the chest, or a free tip-over restraint kit with a one-time in-home installation of the kit. South Shore is contacting consumers who purchased the recalled chests directly.
