The clothing storage units have a date of manufacture sticker on the back of the unit. They were sold in various colors under the Sauder and Sauder Beginnings brands.

Reason for Recall

The tip-over restraint straps can fail when used on certain Sauder clothing storage units (dressers and 4-drawer chests) to prevent tip-over incidents, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or serious injuries to children.
