Joybird Recalls Dressers Due to Tip-Over and Entrapment Hazards

Hazard

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dressers if not properly anchored to the wall and place it into an area that children cannot access. Consumers should contact Joybird for a free in-home repair to the dresser's legs or a free one-time in-home installation of a tip-over restraint kit by a technician plus a $50 gift card to be used on Joybird's website, or free pick-up of the dresser for a full refund.
