Walmart has recalled more than 16,800 fabric dressers sold through its online marketplace after US safety regulators found they do not meet mandatory federal stability standards designed to prevent furniture from tipping over.
The recall covers EnHomee 9-Drawer Fabric Dressers sold on Walmart.com by third-party seller Raybee-Direct between September 2023 and March 2026.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said the dressers can tip over if they are not secured to a wall, creating a risk of serious injury or death, especially for young children. No injuries or incidents have been reported.
Dressers fail federal safety requirements
The recalled dressers were sold in white, brown, grey and black. They have nine fabric drawers supported by a metal frame and were priced at about $80. The recall applies only to units ordered before 30 March 2026.
The CPSC said the products fail to comply with the mandatory federal safety standard for clothing storage units introduced under the STURDY Act. The law was created to reduce the number of tip-over accidents involving furniture.
The agency said the dressers "are unstable if not anchored to a wall", creating both tip-over and entrapment hazards.
The products were manufactured in China by Xuzhou Mingquanhe Household Co., Ltd. and imported by Changsha Yiman Keji Youxian Gongsi, which operates as Raybee-Direct.
Consumers urged to stop using recalled dressers
The CPSC is advising consumers to stop using the recalled dressers immediately if they have not been attached securely to a wall. Owners should move the furniture to a place where children cannot reach it until it has been safely disposed of.
Consumers should contact Raybee-Direct to check whether their dresser is included in the recall and to receive instructions on how to dispose of it. Customers must provide a photograph showing the dresser has been disposed of to receive a full refund.
Fox Business said it had contacted both Walmart and Raybee-Direct for comment.
Tougher safety rules drive recalls
The latest Walmart recall is one of several involving clothing storage furniture that has failed to meet the stability standards introduced under the STURDY Act.
The legislation was passed after years of concern over children being seriously injured or killed when unstable dressers and other storage units tipped over. It introduced stricter performance requirements for clothing storage furniture sold in the US.
The CPSC continues to advise consumers to secure clothing storage furniture to a wall whenever possible, even if it has not been recalled. Anchoring furniture provides an extra level of protection against tip-over accidents, particularly in homes with young children.
