About This Product

Tip restraint kits secure furniture to walls to prevent tip-overs, a common hazard with unstable dressers or bookcases. These kits usually include brackets, screws, and wall straps.

Why This Is Dangerous

Defective plastic components can break, causing the furniture to detach or overturn. This creates a serious risk for children and elderly adults who interact with the secured unit.

Industry Context

This recall is not part of a broader industry pattern.

Real-World Impact

The recall could reduce tip-over incidents if replacements are adopted, but it requires action by consumers to obtain the stainless steel kits.

Practical Guidance

How to identify if yours is affected

  1. Inspect furniture where a Cranach tip restraint kit is installed
  2. Check for two white plastic brackets and a white zip tie
  3. Look for drywall anchors and screws in the kit
