What's the Problem
The HAUOMS 8-Drawer Dresser can tip forward when one of its drawers is extended. This is a known and persistent category of furniture hazard โ drawers act as a lever, shifting the dresser's center of gravity forward when pulled out, particularly if a child grabs the drawer face or climbs on an open drawer. The result is a rapid tip-over that can cause severe or fatal crush injuries to young children.
The CPSC has worked for years to address tip-over hazards in dressers and other furniture. The HAUOMS recall follows a pattern of units reaching consumers through major online retailers before tip-over risks are identified in post-market testing or incident reports.
How to Check if You Have This Dresser
The model SKU for the recalled dresser is AJ_DJ504298_1. This number is typically found on a sticker on the back or bottom of the dresser. If you purchased a HAUOMS 8-drawer dresser on Amazon in the past year for approximately $150, check the sticker before using the dresser again.
If the SKU matches, do not anchor the dresser to a wall and continue using it โ the remedy in this recall is a full refund, not an anchoring fix. The structure of the dresser has been determined to present a hazard that anchoring alone does not fully address.
How to Claim the Refund
To receive the full refund, consumers should stop using the dresser immediately and email a photo of the product to recall@hauoms.com. CPSC recall page: cpsc.gov/node/67710.
Tip-Over Safety in Your Home
This recall is a good time to do a quick check of dressers and furniture throughout your home, regardless of brand. The CPSC recommends anchoring all dressers to a wall stud using an anti-tip device or furniture anchor strap โ these are inexpensive and widely available. Any dresser in a child's room, or in a room children access, should be anchored. Drawers should also be kept closed when not in use.
What's Next
If you have the recalled HAUOMS dresser, the steps are straightforward: stop using it, check the SKU on the back or bottom, and email recall@hauoms.com with a photo to begin the refund process.
