Federal safety regulators have announced the recall of more than 16,800 fabric dressers sold through Walmart.com after finding that the products do not comply with mandatory federal stability requirements intended to reduce furniture tip-over risks involving children.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday that about 16,809 EnHomee 9-Drawer Fabric Dressers are subject to the recall. According to the agency, the dressers can become unstable if they are not anchored to a wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that could cause serious injury or death to children.

The CPSC said the recalled dressers violate the mandatory federal safety standard for clothing storage units required under the STURDY Act. The law, signed in March 2022, directed the agency to create a mandatory stability rule after years of relying on a voluntary industry standard that regulators and safety advocates had deemed inadequate. The resulting CPSC rule took effect September 1, 2023, requiring clothing storage units to pass specified stability tests designed to simulate real-world conditions involving children. The recalled dressers entered the market the same month the new requirements took effect.

The products were sold on Walmart.com by third-party seller Raybee-Direct from September 2023 through March 2026 for about $80. The dressers were offered in white, brown, gray and black, and each unit has nine fabric drawers supported by a metal frame. The recall applies only to units ordered before March 30, 2026. The case underscores the ongoing challenge facing large online marketplaces, which host thousands of third-party sellers and have faced growing scrutiny from regulators and lawmakers over the vetting of products listed on their platforms.

No injuries or incidents involving the recalled dressers have been reported, the CPSC said. Furniture tip-over incidents have for years ranked among the agency's most persistent home-safety concerns, with the CPSC documenting hundreds of child injuries and fatalities linked to clothing storage units over the past two decades.

Consumers should immediately stop using the dressers if they are not anchored to a wall and move them to a location that children cannot access, according to the agency.

Consumers can contact Raybee-Direct for instructions on how to determine whether their dresser is included in the recall and how to dispose of it in order to receive a full refund. As part of the refund process, consumers must submit a photo showing that the dresser has been disposed of.

The recalled dressers were manufactured in China by Xuzhou Mingquanhe Household Co., Ltd. and imported by Changsha Yiman Keji Youxian Gongsi, which does business as Raybee-Direct.
