In September, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of nearly 39,000 unstable dressers across multiple brands because they pose tip-over and entrapment hazards. When these dressers are not wall-anchored, they present a serious risk of injury or death to young children. Coming on the heels of multiple recalls involving 66,000 dressers this past summer, these staggering numbers highlight a persistent and urgent safety crisis in homes nationwide — and a flagrant disregard for mandatory safety standards.
The September recalls impact Aitjunz, FJTJBSI, Gizoon and Alanca dressers, all of which were sold on popular e-commerce sites. The dressers violate the performance standards of the STURDY Act, which requires that all dressers manufactured and sold in the United States after September 1, 2023, adhere to strict safety rules, including tip-over performance testing that simulates real-world use. The standard includes stability tests that simulate the weight of a child up to 60 pounds interacting with the dresser as well as other real-world conditions like placement on carpet or multiple drawers open at once.
The STURDY Act was passed after years of advocacy by parents who lost their children to dresser tip-over accidents, together with other consumer advocates and child safety experts. Several former Feldman Shepherd clients whose children died from IKEA dresser tip-overs — who wanted to spare other families from tragedies similar to their own — were among the brave parents who advocated for the STURDY Act. While the STURDY Act has significantly improved dresser safety, it is not retroactive, and an untold number of unsafe and unstable dressers remain in use in people’s homes.

What Should I Do If I Have a Recalled Dresser?
All four recall notices advise consumers to immediately stop using the recalled dressers if they are not anchored to the wall and to place them in an area where children cannot access. As provided in the notices, if you have a FJTJBSI, Gizoon or Alanca dresser, you should contact the manufacturer for instructions on how to dispose of the furniture and receive a refund. If you have an Aitjunz dresser you should contact the manufacturer to receive a free repair kit with installation instructions.
How Many Children Are Injured by Dresser Tip-Overs?
From January 2013 through July 2023 there were 79 reported fatalities from dressers, chests and bureaus tipping over, including 64 child fatalities, according to the CPSC. The CPSC estimates that there were 3,100 dresser, chest and bureau tip-over-related injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments annually from 2020 through 2022. An estimated 1,800 injuries each year were to children.
Unstable dressers are particularly risky for curious toddlers, as they may open multiple dresser drawers or attempt to climb or sit in a drawer. Unfortunately, young children do not have the strength to prevent a dresser from falling or to lift a dresser that has tipped over onto them. Making an already dangerous situation worse, tip-over accidents often occur when parents think their child is safely asleep in bed, and parents may not hear the dresser fall because the child’s body and carpet often cushion the impact. And for every tip-over that causes injury, there are an untold number of “near misses” where a toddler manages to get out of the way, or a nearby adult catches the dresser, or it falls onto a bed or other nearby object.
What Should I Do If My Child Has Been Injured by a Dresser Tip-Over?
Feldman Shepherd co-founding shareholder and product liability attorney Alan M. Feldman said that “with the STURDY Act in effect for more than three years, it is unconscionable that manufacturers continue to disregard the safety standard and put tens of thousands of unsafe and unstable dressers into the marketplace month after month.” He further noted that even before the STURDY Act was passed, product liability law always required that products be safe for their intended and expected use. He recommends contacting a product liability attorney as soon as possible if your child has been injured by a dresser tip-over.
Feldman, along with shareholder Daniel J. Mann and partner Edward S. Goldis, has recovered nearly $100 million on behalf of four families whose toddlers died from IKEA dresser tip-overs. In another dresser tip-over case, the team recovered what is believed to be the largest recovery for the death of a child in New York.
