Voluntary Anti-Tip Kit Recall

On January 11, 2024, in coordination with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Alliance4Safety and a number of participating furniture companies announced the recall of a plastic furniture tip restraint kit manufactured by New Age Industries Co., Ltd., of Vietnam. Millions of these tip restraints were supplied to furniture manufacturers and importers for use with storage furniture sold in the United States since November 2019. The plastic, zip-tie style tip restraints can become brittle or break, posing a tip-over and entrapment hazard involving the clothing storage furniture to which they are attached. Furniture tip-overs can result in death or serious injuries to consumers, especially small children.

Consumers should immediately check if their clothing storage unit has a date of manufacture sticker or stamp of November 2019 or later. If so, and if the tip kit is made of plastic, consumers should request a free replacement tip kit using the link to the form on the right. Keep children away from the unit while waiting for a replacement tip kit.
