The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced two dresser recalls in the last two weeks for the same problem: the dressers can tip over if they are not anchored to the wall, putting young children at risk of serious injury or death. Both were sold online on Amazon.com, so they may be in Pittsburgh-area homes right now.
HAUOMS eight-drawer dressers (recall 27-068, November 5, 2026)
Jiastfeng is recalling about 1,392 HAUOMS-branded eight-drawer dressers. They are black wooden dressers measuring about 27.6 inches wide, 15.8 inches deep, and 59.1 inches tall, and weigh about 112.4 pounds. “SKU: AJ_DJ504298_1” is printed on the packaging. They were sold on Amazon.com from May 2025 through September 2026 for about $150. Contact: [email protected]. (CPSC recall 27-068)
SOOWERY 8-drawer fabric dressers (recall 27-049, October 29, 2026)
SOOWERY is recalling about 138 8-drawer fabric dressers in gray and black, with metal frames and eight fabric drawers. They measure about 47.2 inches wide, 11.8 inches deep, and 35.4 inches tall, and weigh 47.5 pounds. The SKU “SOO-8DD-G01” is printed on the packaging. They were sold on Amazon.com from December 2025 through August 2026 for about $106. Contact: [email protected]. (CPSC recall 27-049)
Why it matters
According to CPSC, both dressers violate the mandatory federal safety standard for clothing storage units required by the STURDY Act. Neither recall listed any reported incidents, but CPSC is asking owners to act now rather than wait for one.
What to do
- If you own one of these dressers and it is not anchored to the wall, stop using it and move it to a room children cannot get into.
- Email the seller for a full refund ([email protected] or [email protected]).
- Follow the refund steps: write “RECALLED” in permanent marker on the top, front, and sides, remove all drawers, and email photos of the marked, disassembled dresser. Then dispose of it.
- If you had a tip-over or near miss, report it on SaferProducts.gov.
Anchor the rest of your furniture too
Recalls only cover specific models, but any tall dresser, bookcase, or TV stand can tip. Use the anti-tip kit that came with the furniture (or a sturdy anchor kit), fasten it into a wall stud or with anchors rated for your wall type, and keep heavier items in the bottom drawers. If you are not comfortable locating studs or drilling into plaster or drywall, a handyman can install the anchors for you.

Questions about this topic
Which dressers are recalled?
Two recent CPSC recalls cover dressers sold on Amazon.com. On November 5, 2026, Jiastfeng recalled about 1,392 black wooden HAUOMS eight-drawer dressers (about 27.6 inches wide, 15.8 inches deep, 59.1 inches tall, 112.4 pounds) with SKU AJ_DJ504298_1 on the packaging. On October 29, 2026, SOOWERY recalled about 138 gray or black 8-drawer fabric dressers with metal frames (about 47.2 inches wide, 11.8 inches deep, 35.4 inches tall, 47.5 pounds) with SKU SOO-8DD-G01 on the packaging.
What is the hazard?
CPSC says both dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can cause serious injury or death to children. Both violate the mandatory federal safety standard for clothing storage units required by the STURDY Act. No incidents were listed in either recall notice.
What should I do if I own one?
If the dresser is not anchored to the wall, stop using it right away and move it where children cannot reach it. Contact the seller for a full refund: [email protected] for the HAUOMS dresser or [email protected] for the SOOWERY dresser. You will be asked to write RECALLED in permanent marker on the top, front, and sides, remove all drawers, email photos of the marked and disassembled dresser, and then dispose of it.
When and where were they sold?
The HAUOMS dressers were sold on Amazon.com from May 2025 through September 2026 for about $150. The SOOWERY fabric dressers were sold on Amazon.com from December 2025 through August 2026 for about $106.
Should I anchor dressers that are not recalled?
Yes, anchoring tall or top-heavy furniture to the wall is a simple way to lower tip-over risk, especially in homes with young children. Use the anti-tip hardware that came with the furniture or a sturdy furniture anchor kit, fasten it into a wall stud or with anchors rated for your wall type, and keep heavy items in the lower drawers.
