Two Dresser Recalls This Week: What Colorado Springs Families Need to Know About the Tip-Over Hazard

Two separate dresser recalls were issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission this week — both involving 6-drawer units that can tip over and trap or crush children. If your family owns either the Gizoon Direct 6-drawer double dresser or the Alanca-branded 6-drawer wood dresser, stop using it immediately if it is not anchored to the wall.

What to Do If You Have Either Dresser

The CPSC's guidance is clear: stop using either recalled dresser immediately if it is not firmly anchored to the wall. Even with an anchor installed, contact the manufacturer for a full refund and consider replacing the unit with a product that meets current safety standards.

For the Gizoon Direct dresser, contact Gizoon Direct through the retailer where the product was purchased or through Amazon if purchased online. For the Alanca dresser, contact Nanjing Wu Hai Smart Home Appliance Store. Both manufacturers are required to provide full refunds under the recall terms.

Anchor Every Dresser — Not Just the Recalled Ones

Even if your dresser is not on this week's recall list, the CPSC recommends anchoring every tall dresser, bookcase, and wardrobe to the wall. Anti-tip straps and furniture anchor kits are widely available at hardware stores and online for under $10. They take fewer than 10 minutes to install and require only a screwdriver and a wall stud.

A few anchor installation tips: always attach to a wall stud rather than just drywall, which may not hold the weight of a falling dresser. Use the anchor kit included with the furniture when provided, or purchase a universal kit that fits the bracket to your specific dresser design.

What's Next

The full recall details for both products, including specific model numbers and purchase location information, are available at cpsc.gov/recalls. Parents can also call the CPSC recall hotline at 1-800-638-2772 for assistance identifying whether their specific dresser is affected.

Both recalls are the latest in an ongoing series of dresser safety actions the CPSC has taken in recent years. Tip-over hazards remain one of the commission's highest-priority home safety areas for households with young children.
