CPSC clothing-storage tip-over recalls · Updated November 9, 2026

Is my dresser recalled? Tip-over and STURDY Act checklist

Maybe — start with the brands people usually mean. Historic IKEA MALM (and other IKEA chests/dressers on IKEA’s official list) were recalled for tip-over if unanchored: CPSC’s June 28, 2016 notice is titled as recalling “29 Million” MALM and other models; the same notice’s body counts about 8 million MALM plus 21 million other U.S. units (and about 6.6 million in Canada). A November 21, 2017 reannounce revised U.S. units to about 17.3 million. Walmart Mainstays 9-drawer fabric dressers were recalled May 28, 2026 (about 165,000, recall 26-522) and reannounced August 27, 2026 (about 165,250, recall 26-726, noting about 165,000 were already in the May action). In 2026, CPSC also recalled many other clothing-storage units for STURDY Act tip-over/entrapment issues — including Yinklev Jocoevol model C-0633 (about 32,791, 27-059, Oct 29) and HAUOMS eight-drawer SKU AJ_DJ504298_1 (about 1,392, 27-068, Nov 5). Match your label/SKU to the matching notice; do not add unit counts across recalls.

Is my dresser recalled for tip-over?

Check IKEA MALM (and Hemnes only against IKEA’s official model list), then Walmart Mainstays 9-drawer fabric, then the 2026 STURDY Act clothing-storage wave (including Yinklev and HAUOMS). Match the brand, model, or SKU on your label to that notice. If the dresser is not properly wall-anchored, stop using it around children and follow that notice’s refund, kit, or retrofit steps — do not copy one brand’s remedy onto another.

The STURDY Act, as named on 2026 CPSC notices, requires mandatory clothing-storage-unit safety standards. Recalled dressers in that wave are described as unstable if not wall-anchored and as violating those mandatory standards.

IKEA MALM (and Hemnes): how to check

People still search “IKEA dresser recall 2026” for the historic campaign — this hub does not invent a 2026 IKEA unit count or a new 2026 IKEA dresser recall. Facts below are from CPSC 16-204 and 18-040.

• June 28, 2016 (16-204): CPSC title language: “IKEA Recalls 29 Million MALM and Other Models…” — quote the “29 million” figure as title language only. Body units: about 8 million MALM chests/dressers and 21 million additional children’s and adult chests/dressers in the U.S.; in addition, about 6.6 million sold in Canada.
• November 21, 2017 (18-040): reannounce of MALM and other models; U.S. units revised to about 17.3 million (based on updated information from IKEA; revised downward from June 2016).
• Hazard: unstable if not properly wall-anchored → tip-over / entrapment.
• Scope named on CPSC: MALM 3-/4-/5-/6-drawer models plus other children’s and adult chests/dressers (children’s heights above about 23.5″; adult above about 29.5″). Full non-MALM lists live on IKEA’s recall pages linked from CPSC.
• Hemnes: CPSC’s 16-204 / 18-040 title and body text used for this hub do not print “Hemnes.” Do not assume it is in or out. Check the IKEA model name and date on the unit against IKEA’s official recall model list.
• Sold window (MALM framing on notices): about 2002 through June 2016, about $70–$200.

Refund or free anchoring kit

CPSC says to stop use if unanchored and keep the dresser where children cannot access it. IKEA’s published choice is a refund or a free wall-anchoring kit (full refund framing for January 2002–June 2016 manufacture; partial store credit if manufactured before January 2002). IKEA may pick up free of charge or provide one-time free in-home anchoring. Contact on the CPSC notices: IKEA 866-856-4532. Official notices: CPSC 16-204 · CPSC 18-040.

Walmart Mainstays 9-drawer fabric dressers

Two CPSC actions cover the same Mainstays 9-drawer fabric product family. List both lines; do not add 165,000 + 165,250.

• 26-522 · May 28, 2026: about 165,000 units. CPSC notice.
• 26-726 · August 27, 2026 (reannounce): about 165,250 units — about 165,000 of these were previously recalled in May 2026. The reannounce also warns that recalled dressers were distributed post-recall and sold through liquidators (OMG California Community, Riverside, CA; Threads of Fenton, Fenton, MI; Golden Cone Electronic, Inc., Elkhart, IN; ReturnPro, Miami, FL). CPSC reannounce.

Hazard: unstable if not wall-anchored → tip-over/entrapment; violates STURDY Act clothing-storage mandatory standard (CPSC). Incidents: CPSC Incidents block was blank in the primary fetch for this hub — this page does not invent incident counts.

How to ID: label under the top panel with Tracking/Lot and manufacture date MM/YYYY (CPSC photo text includes an example Tracking/Lot HCV202601, Production Date 01/2026 — treat as an example from the notice photo, not “only this lot”). Product description: black metal frame; nine brown or black fabric drawers; about 40″ L × 13.75″ W × 45″ H; about 32 lb; manufactured September 2023–December 2025. Sold Walmart stores + Walmart.com September 2023–March 2026 for about $80. Manufacturer: Hop Thang Interior Wood Co. Ltd., Vietnam (CPSC).

Remedy (CPSC): stop if unanchored; keep in a child-safe area; contact Walmart for a full refund; return drawers to any Walmart store; dispose of the frame per local rules. Walmart: 800-925-6278 7 a.m.–9 p.m. CT Monday–Friday; walmart.com/help; corporate.walmart.com/recalls.

What to do if your dresser might tip over

1. Stop using it if it is not properly anchored to the wall.
2. Move it where children cannot access it.
3. Follow the specific CPSC notice for your brand (refund photo steps for many Amazon STURDY recalls; Mainstays asks you to return drawers to Walmart and dispose of the frame; IKEA offers a refund or a free anchoring kit; Aitjunz’s notice uses a free retrofit kit).
4. General steps: what to do with a recalled product.
