Recalls of Dressers Sold by Amazon, Walmart Highlights Hidden Danger in Many Homes
The recalls cover about 26,849 dressers after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said they failed safety standards and posed tip-over hazards.
On July 23, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued recalls for about 10,040 Romorgniz 12-Drawer Fabric Dressers and 16,809 EnHomee 9-Drawer Fabric Dressers, citing violations of the STURDY Act that pose tip-over and entrapment hazards.
Furniture tip-overs are a hidden danger, sending nearly 18,000 people to the E.R. annually. The STURDY Act, enacted in 2023, mandates safety standards for dressers, yet these recalls show not all manufacturers comply.
Amazon sold the Romorgniz dressers from May 2025 through March 2026 for $90, while Walmart sold the EnHomee units from September 2023 through March 2026 for $80.
Consumers should stop using recalled dressers not anchored to the wall and place them in areas inaccessible to children. Owners should contact the respective companies for disposal instructions and a full refund.
Secure furniture to walls with anti-tip straps or brackets, ensuring they catch a wall stud. Store heavier items in the lowest drawers to maintain a low center of gravity and keep tempting items off furniture tops.
