Why it was recalled
The recalled dressers and cabinets are unstable and can tip over if not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children. The chests do not comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard (ASTM F2057-19).
Incidents and injuries
Herman Miller has received one report of a tip-over with no injuries or property damage. No other incidents have been reported.
Official remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using this or any recalled chest or cabinet if not properly anchored to the wall, place it in an area that children cannot access and contact Herman Miller to receive a full refund with free pick-up of the chest. Herman Miller is contacting all known purchasers directly.
