May 29, 2025: CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using Aiho Dressers

CPSC warned consumers to stop using the Aiho dressers immediately, citing tip-over and entrapment hazards. It sent the seller, Shenzhen Yiqun Technology Co. Ltd., dba Aiho Inc., of China, a Notice of Violation of the clothing storage unit rule.

Which Aiho Dressers Are Affected?

The recall covers one model, the white five-drawer Aiho dresser, which you can match against these details:

• Product: white dresser with five drawers, the top two half-width and the bottom three full-width.
• Size: about 16 inches deep by 28 inches wide by 37 inches tall, made in China.
• Model number: AP23-W, which is printed on the product packaging of the recalled dresser.
• Where sold: Walmart.com, sold by Aiho from September 2023 through March 2025 for about $80.
• Units: about 1,900 white five-drawer dressers were included in the recall.

You may be affected if you own or bought this dresser, especially in a home where children can reach one that is not anchored.

Why Were Aiho Dressers Recalled?

Aiho dressers were recalled because they are unstable when not anchored to a wall. CPSC calls the tip-over and entrapment hazards serious and says they can injure or kill children. CPSC also says the dressers violate the performance and labeling requirements of the STURDY Act and CPSC’s implementing regulations. The rule, 16 CFR Part 1261, took effect September 1, 2023 and covers units made after that date [3].

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The recall notice reports no incidents or injuries for the Aiho dressers. The recall rests on the hazard and the rule violation. CPSC’s warning gives national figures for clothing storage units. CPSC data show an average of 10 deaths and 5,300 injuries a year involving clothing storage units tipping over. These are not Aiho reports. CPSC’s tip-over report from 2021 estimated an annual average of 22,500 emergency-department-treated tip-over injuries from 2018 through 2020 [4]. The same report counted 581 reported tip-over deaths from 2000 through 2020. Of those deaths, 472, or 81%, involved children under 18. Death counts for 2019 and 2020 are incomplete because of reporting lag.

What Should Consumers Do?

If you own an Aiho dresser, take these steps, which come from CPSC and the company:

1. Check the packaging for model number AP23-W to confirm your dresser is the recalled model.
2. Stop using the dresser immediately. CPSC urges owners to dispose of it under local disposal requirements or anchor it securely to a wall.
3. Email support@aiholife.com or visit hiapes.com/pages/aiho-recall for disposal and refund instructions, and send Aiho a photo of the disposed dresser to receive the full refund.
4. Report any incident to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, or call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772, or 800-638-8270 for TTY.

Legal Options

No court case over the Aiho dresser has been reported, and as of August 3, 2026 the JPML has formed no MDL for dressers [5]. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility. Any claim would be individual, and a case review can look at whether a person was hurt, how the dresser was set up, and the facts of the incident.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines come from state law, so they vary with where you live and when the injury happened. Some states start the clock on the date of the injury, and others start it when the injury was discovered. Missing the filing date can end a claim, however strong the facts. If someone was hurt by a tipped dresser, check with a lawyer promptly.
