Washington, D.C. Federal regulators announced Aug. 13 that DUMOS nine drawer dressers are being recalled after safety officials found the units can tip over if not secured, posing a risk of serious injury or death to children. According to the CPSC, the dressers are unstable when not anchored to a wall and present tip over and entrapment hazards. The agency said the products also fail to meet mandatory safety requirements established by the STURDY Act for clothing storage units. The recall affects DUMOS branded nine drawer dressers. No specific model numbers or retailer information were provided in the commission’s notice. Consumers who own the dressers are advised to stop using them unless they are securely anchored and to keep children away from the furniture until the issue is resolved. The CPSC said the manufacturer is offering refunds or replacement units to customers. Owners should contact the company directly to arrange the remedy. The recall notice did not list which stores sold the dressers or how long the product has been on the market. Regulators emphasized that unanchored dressers can be pulled over if a child climbs on drawers or if drawers are left open, which can lead to crushing or fatal injuries. The commission has increased scrutiny of clothing storage furniture in recent years and has required manufacturers to comply with stricter stability and assembly standards under the STURDY Act. Consumers with questions or who believe they have an affected dresser should consult the CPSC recall page for updates and contact details. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2026/DUMOS Nine Drawer Dressers Recalled Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Tip Over and Entrapment Hazards Violate Mandatory Standard for Clothing Storage Units
