Target is recalling approximately 175,000 Room Essentials 4-drawer dressers because they are unstable if not anchored to a wall. The firm has received 12 reports of these dressers tipping or collapsing, including incidents where they tipped over on two three-year-old children. These dressers were sold in black, espresso, and maple colors at Target stores and Target.com between January 2013 and April 2016. Consumers should immediately stop using any dresser that is not properly anchored and return it to any Target store for a full refund.
The dresser can tip over and fall if it is not secured to a wall, which creates a serious risk of trapping, injuring, or killing children who may climb on or pull at the unit.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dresser that is not properly anchored to the wall and place it into an area that children cannot access. Consumers should return the recalled dresser to any Target store for a full refund.
