by Units can break over time, leading to possible tip-over and entrapment incidents that can harm children, older adults
WASHINGTON — The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of more than a quarter million plastic tip restraints that can break, leading to possible tip-over and entrapment incidents that these types of units were aimed at preventing.
The recall involves some 253,500 4our Kiddies plastic tip restraint kits. The CPSC said it is aware of at least 150 incidents where consumers reported that the defective plastic tip restraint kits broke, including three reported tip-over incidents.
It was not clear whether there were any injuries associated with these tip-overs.
Made in China, the units were imported by Shenzhen City Donglin E-Commerce Co. Ltd d/b/a 4our Kiddies of China and sold on Amazon from June 2019 through January 2026 for between $6 and $21.
The recalled units contain two white plastic brackets/mounts (one for connection to furniture and the other for connection to the wall), a white plastic cable zip tie, two different pairs of screws (one longer than the other) and two drywall anchors.
The CPSC said that because the kits can break or degrade over time, they can result in serious injuries or death to children or elderly adults that interact with furniture secured to the wall with these defective units.
“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,” the agency said.
Consumers have been urged to stop using the tip kits immediately and contact 4our Kiddies for a free replacement tip restraint kit made of stainless steel. It also said that consumers should “keep children away from the unit 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.”
