School Specialty Recalls Tip Restraint Kits Included in Childcraft Furniture Due to Risk of Serious Injury or Death from Tip-Over Hazard
CPSC recall 26540. Recall date: . Last publish date of the CPSC notice: .
Hazard, in the words of CPSC
The recalled plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) can break or degrade, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards. Should the defective plastic tip restraints break, consumers could be at risk of serious injuries or death. This is a hidden defect because consumers who purchase and install this product may be under a false sense of security that their furniture is safe from a tip-over incident.
Remedy, in the words of CPSC
Consumers should stop using the recalled plastic tip restraints immediately and contact School Specialty for a free replacement tip restraint kit made of stainless steel. Consumers should keep children away from any furniture secured using the recalled plastic tip restraints while waiting for a replacement tip restraint kit and should dispose of the recalled tip restraint in their household trash once they have installed the replacement tip restraint. School Specialty is contacting all consumers who purchased Childcraft furniture directly and mailing two replacement tip restraint kits to those consumers along with that notice.
