Washington, D.C. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Aug. 6 that Winston Porter and Seeday 3 drawer, 4 drawer and 5 drawer dressers are being recalled because they can tip over and entrap children, posing a risk of serious injury or death. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the dressers fail to meet the mandatory safety standard established by the STURDY Act for clothing storage units. The agency said the units are unstable if not anchored to a wall and present tip over and entrapment hazards. The recall covers dresser models marketed under the Winston Porter and Seeday brand names in three, four and five drawer configurations. The CPSC did not provide retailer specific sales information in the announcement. Parents and caregivers are urged to stop using the recalled dressers immediately, especially in homes with young children. The CPSC said unsecured dressers can tip when a child climbs on, pulls on drawers or otherwise applies force, increasing the risk of crushing or suffocation. Consumers should contact the manufacturer for instructions on obtaining a refund or replacement. The CPSC notice emphasizes that anchoring the furniture to the wall does not remedy the violation of the mandatory standard, and the manufacturer is providing remedies under the recall. The agency recommends keeping children away from the recalled products until they are removed or repaired per the manufacturer’s guidance. Owners who are unsure whether their dresser is included in the recall should consult the CPSC’s recall page for identifying details and next steps.
