A tall black dresser sold on Amazon for about $150 is being recalled because it can tip over if it is not anchored to the wall. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission also says it breaks a federal safety standard.
The recall, announced on Nov. 5, 2026, covers about 1,392 HAUOMS eight-drawer dressers sold by Jiastfeng.
The recall is listed on the CPSC website as recall 27-068. Read the original here.
Unstable Unless It Is Anchored To A Wall
The CPSC says the dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to a wall. That creates tip-over and entrapment hazards that can cause serious injury or death to children.
The agency also says the dressers violate the mandatory clothing storage unit standard under the STURDY Act. That is a federal safety rule for dressers and similar furniture.
No incidents have been reported.
How To Tell If Yours Is One Of Them
The recalled dressers are wooden and black. They measure about 27.6 inches wide, 15.8 inches deep and 59.1 inches tall, and they weigh about 112.4 pounds.
The packaging shows “SKU: AJ_DJ504298_1.” If you tossed the box, check the measurements and the look of the dresser against those details.
Sold On Amazon From May 2025 Through September 2026
The dressers were sold on Amazon.com from May 2025 through September 2026 for about $150. They were made in China.
The recalling firm is Zhengzhoushi Rupiao Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd., which does business as Jiastfeng, also of China.
A Full Refund, But There Are Steps To Follow
The remedy is a full refund. The CPSC says consumers should stop using the dresser if it is not anchored to the wall, and place it where children cannot reach it.
Then contact Jiastfeng at [email protected] to ask for a refund. Write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the top, front and sides of the dresser, and remove all the drawers.
Disassemble the dresser and email photos of the marked, disassembled piece to [email protected]. After that, dispose of it. You can also reach the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.
Why Anchoring Matters So Much
Tall dressers can look solid and still be top heavy. A child who opens the drawers and climbs on them like steps can shift the weight forward, and 112 pounds of furniture coming down is no small thing.
That is why the federal government set a mandatory stability standard for clothing storage units, and why anchoring a dresser to the wall is recommended for any home with young children. It is an easy safeguard, and it applies to the dresser you bought years ago just as much as to a new one.
Anchor Your Dressers This Weekend
Most dressers can be secured in about twenty minutes with a few inexpensive items. Anti-tip straps or brackets are sold at hardware stores and usually come with screws.
Find a wall stud with a stud finder, attach the bracket to the back of the dresser, and screw the strap into the stud. If you cannot hit a stud, use anchors rated for the weight, and follow the directions on the package.
Do not forget the other furniture in the house. Bookcases, TV stands and tall chests deserve the same treatment, and a flat screen TV on a low dresser is a classic tip-over hazard.
Grandparents should look at their own guest rooms before the holiday visitors arrive. Kids who are used to their own safe house can get into trouble fast in a house that was never childproofed.
Finally, put the heaviest items in the lower drawers, and teach children that drawers are for clothes, not for climbing. Those two habits cost nothing and add one more layer of safety.
If you have one of the recalled HAUOMS dressers, do not wait for a perfect moment. Move it out of children’s reach, take the photos and ask for your refund, and replace it with a dresser that meets the safety standard.
What To Know Before You Buy A Replacement
When you shop for a new dresser, look for a tip-over rating or a label saying the piece meets the federal stability standard. Reputable sellers list this information, and it is fair to ask when it is not on the page.
Buying from a store where you can see the furniture, give it a push and open the drawers is a good idea if you can manage it. Pay attention to whether the dresser feels top heavy when the upper drawers are open.
If you buy online, read the product page and the reviews carefully. Look for comments about wobbling, drawers sliding out too far or missing anchoring hardware, and check the CPSC recall list before you add anything to your cart.
A low price on a tall piece of furniture is not always a bargain. For a few extra dollars, you may get a dresser that is safer and lasts for years.
Keep the receipt and the model information for any large furniture you buy. If a recall is ever announced, those details make a refund much simpler.
Check Your Whole House, Not Only The Dresser
A recall notice is a good reason to walk through your home with a child’s eye view. Get down on your knees and look at what a toddler can reach, climb or pull over.
Anything that is tall, narrow and heavy deserves a closer look. If you find something that is not secured, put it on the weekend list and get it done before the grandkids visit.
