Sauder Woodworking
The tip-over restraint straps can fail when used on certain Sauder clothing storage units (dressers and 4-drawer chests) to prevent tip-over incidents, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or serious injuries to children.
The recalled chests are unstable unless they are properly anchored to the wall, posing a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard that could result in death or serious injuries to children. Due to a manufacturing problem, these chests do not comply with the voluntary safety standard (ASTM F2057-14).
2 notices where the recalled products are chairs & stools.
The legs on the stools can become unstable over time, posing a fall hazard.
The seat plate can break, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The plastic feet of the TV stand can crack or break. The stability of the stand can be reduced, increasing the risk of a TV tipping over.
The TV stand can collapse if the fasteners used to connect the metal legs to the lower shelf are not completely tightened during assembly, posing a risk that the TV set can fall onto children or adults.

The carts can tip over and the television can fall off, posing a risk of serious injury or death if the TV and cart fall on a child.
The carts can tip over and injure or kill children and adults when the cart and the television fall.
The upper doors or upper door components can fall off, causing injury to nearby consumers.
