Latest SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dressers Recall Updates

February 12, 2026: CPSC Announces the Recall

CPSC‘s recall of the SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dressers [1] cites a serious tip-over and entrapment risk. The dressers also do not meet a federal furniture-safety rule.

No incidents or injuries were reported when CPSC announced the recall. This is the only update so far. SOOWERY has not expanded the recall, issued a completion notice, or added any new affected units.

Which Amazon Dressers Are Affected?

SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dressers are affected, and since no model or lot number is printed on them, use these details to check yours:

  • SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dresser: black, a metal-frame body, six fabric drawers, and a wooden top panel
  • Dimensions: about 47.2 inches long, 11.8 inches wide, and 33.3 inches tall
  • Units: about 166 sold in the United States; no other-country figure given in the notice
  • Sold at: online only at Amazon.com, December 2025 through January 2026, about $130.

No model, lot, or serial number appears on the dresser. Match your dresser to the color and size above instead. If you are not sure, contact SOOWERY. See “What Should Consumers Do?” below for the contact details.

Why Were the Amazon Dressers Recalled?

SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dressers were recalled because they can tip over and trap a child if not anchored to a wall. They also fail to meet the federal safety rule for clothing storage units.

The rule, 16 CFR Part 1261 [2], adopts a stability test called ASTM F2057-23. CPSC found the SOOWERY dresser does not pass it, though the notice does not say which part it failed.

Congress passed the STURDY Act in December 2022, directing CPSC to set a national safety rule after years of child deaths from tipped furniture.

A clothing storage unit that meets the rule must pass those stability tests and include an anti-tip device – the same standard the SOOWERY dresser’s recall notice cites as violated.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The CPSC notice lists no incidents, injuries, or deaths tied to the SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dresser sold on Amazon.com. SOOWERY and CPSC had not received a report of any kind when the notice was published on February 12, 2026.

Tip-overs like SOOWERY’s still hurt children nationwide, the reason CPSC adopted the anti-tip rule this recall notice cites as violated. CPSC’s 2021 tip-over report counted about 22,500 ER-treated tip-over injuries a year [3].

About 2,400 of those furniture-related injuries to children each year involve a chest, bureau, or dresser like the recalled SOOWERY model.

Zero reports so far does not mean the risk is small for other households. If a tip-over hurts your child, get medical care right away and report it to CPSC.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who owns a SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dresser bought on Amazon.com should take the following steps:

  1. Stop using the dresser immediately if it is not anchored to a wall.
  2. Keep the dresser in an area children cannot access until it is disposed of or anchored.
  3. Write “recalled” on the top and all sides of the dresser with a permanent marker.
  4. Contact SOOWERY at SOOWERYrecall@outlook.com for instructions on disposing of the dresser and receiving a full refund.
  5. Email a photo showing the dresser’s disposal to SOOWERYrecall@outlook.com to complete the refund.
  6. Report any tip-over incident to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov or by calling the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.

A recall does not automatically mean the company is liable, and it does not promise you money. Still, a lawsuit may be possible if a broken dresser hurt someone.

No class action or MDL for SOOWERY dressers is on the most recent MDL docket list [4]. Cases proceed individually, and Schmidt & Clark offers a free case review, with no money promised.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines to file a product-liability claim come from state law, not from this CPSC recall, and no specific number of years applies here.

How much time you have depends on where you live. It also depends on when the injury happened and when it was diagnosed. Some states start the clock at diagnosis.

Missing a deadline can end your claim, even a strong one. Talk to a lawyer soon if you are thinking about a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SOOWERY Dresser Recall Still Active?

Yes, the SOOWERY 6-Drawer Dresser recall remains open. A September 21, 2026 check of CPSC’s own notice, its Anchor It mirror, and the Justia federal recall index found no completion, termination, expansion, or reannouncement notice for Recall No. 26-261, so the refund remedy still applies.

How Many Children Get Hurt in Dresser Tip-Overs Every Year?

Many children are hurt or killed in dresser tip-overs. CPSC’s newest report does not give a single-year total, but it found 218 tip-over deaths involved a chest, bureau, or dresser, and 189 of those, about 87%, were children, the reason regulators require the anti-tip standard this SOOWERY recall enforces.

What Should I Do If My Child Was Injured by a Dresser Tip-Over?

If your child was hurt in a dresser tip-over, get medical care right away. Then save evidence: keep the dresser and its box, take photos of the scene, and save the Amazon receipt and any medical records. You can also report the incident to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov.

What Is the SOOWERY Dresser Recall Number?

The SOOWERY Dresser recall number is 26-261. CPSC assigned that number. You can also find it on Justia’s federal recall index and on the CPSC’s Anchor It safety mirror of the notice.

Does the STURDY Act Apply to This SOOWERY Dresser Recall?

Yes, the STURDY Act applies to this SOOWERY dresser recall. The law told CPSC to adopt a stability standard. CPSC picked ASTM F2057-23 on April 19, 2023. That rule took effect September 1, 2023 and covers dressers made after that date.

Has CPSC’s Anchor It Campaign Reduced Furniture Tip-Over Deaths?

Yes, CPSC’s Anchor It campaign has reduced furniture tip-over deaths. CPSC launched it in 2015 to encourage anchoring furniture to the wall. A 2025 ten-year review found tip-over injuries and deaths had dropped nearly 50 percent since then, one reason to anchor the recalled SOOWERY dresser.

What Does It Mean to File a SOOWERY Dresser Claim Individually?

Filing individually means no class action or MDL covers SOOWERY dresser tip-over claims, so each case is filed and handled on its own instead of joined into one consolidated case. The JPML docket showed no dresser MDL as of March 2, 2026.
