by Units can become brittle and break, posing a tip-over and entrapment hazard that can harm children
ONTARIO, Calif. — Supplier American Bolt & Screw has recalled 12,890 tip-over restraint kits shipped with clothing storage units sold exclusively at Rooms To Go that can break, posing a tip-over and entrapment hazard.
Although no injuries have been reported, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the recalled tip kits can become brittle and break. This can cause a clothing storage unit that is anchored to the wall to detach during a furniture tip-over event that can cause death or serious injuries to children.
Made in China and imported by American Bolt & Screw of Ontario, California, the units came with products sold exclusively at Rooms To Go stores and online at www.RoomsToGo.com from July 2023 through May 2024.
The recall involves tip-over restraint kits that were sold with various chests and dressers. They were packaged in a red plastic bag containing a plastic zip tie, two white plastic brackets, four screws, two white plastic drywall anchors and an instruction sheet.
“American Bolt & Screw Mfg Co. Ltd, 600 S. Wanamaker Ave. Ontario, Ca. 91761″ and “Manufacturing date: June 20, 2023” or “Manufacturing date: January 20, 2024” are printed on the bag and on the instruction sheet.
The CPSC said the kits were distributed with certain clothing storage units manufactured by Canyon Furniture that included chests and dressers in the Canyon Lake, Canyon River, Cottage Colors, Creekside 2.0, Ivy League 2.0 and Modern Colors furniture lines. The affected clothing storage units have a white label on the back of the unit that says “Canyon Furniture Co.” in black text, as well as a model number beginning with “CANY” and the manufacture date.
The units are part of a Fast Track process that allows them to be recalled sooner rather than later to avoid possible tip-over incidents. The CPSC has advised consumers to contact American Bolt & Screw for a free replacement tip-over restraint kit. The company also is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Consumers also can contact Rooms To Go for help in determining whether their chest or dresser came with the affected tip-over restraint kit.
The CPSC has advised consumers to keep children away from the unit while waiting for a replacement tip kit. Consumers also should dispose of the recalled tip-over restraint in their household trash once they have installed the replacement tip-over restraint.
