Furnulem Dresser Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

Furnulem, sold by Shanghai Taiye Furniture Co., Ltd., has two dressers under a CPSC recall: the 8-Drawer under Recall No. 26-153 (December 18, 2025) and the 5-Drawer under Recall No. 26-247 (February 5, 2026). Both models are unstable unless bolted to the wall, and CPSC says they pose a risk of tipping over or trapping a child. They fail the mandatory clothing-storage-unit safety rule set under the STURDY Act. Owners should stop using an unbolted dresser, keep it away from kids and reach out to Furnulem for a refund. Both recalls remain open with the agency, and neither notice reports an injury so far.

Latest Furnulem Dresser Recall Updates

February 5, 2026: CPSC Announces Second Furnulem Recall

The CPSC announced Recall No. 26-247 for Furnulem 5-Drawer Dressers on February 5, 2026, the second Furnulem recall opened in under two months, after the December 2025 8-Drawer action [1]. The recall covers about 50 wooden white dressers, model “HK-DS-017-CL-5D-1-W,” sold on Amazon.com in July 2025 for about $140. Only dressers shipped without feet extensions are part of this recall, and no injuries have been reported.

December 18, 2025: CPSC Recalls Furnulem 8-Drawer Dressers

CPSC opened Recall No. 26-153 for Furnulem 8-Drawer Dressers on December 18, 2025, the first of the two Furnulem recalls tied to the same hazard [2]. The recall covers about 16,800 dressers in black, brown or white, model “DS-0148D003.” They sold on Amazon.com from September 2023 through November 2025 for about $80. No injuries have been reported to CPSC.

Which Furnulem Dressers Are Affected?

Two Furnulem dresser models, both sold on Amazon.com, are covered by this recall, each identified by the model number printed on its packaging:

• Furnulem 8-Drawer Dressers, model “DS-0148D003,” are sold in black, brown or white, about 13.8 by 45 by 29.7 inches. They have a metal frame, a wooden top with recessed power outlets and eight collapsible fabric drawers.
• Furnulem 5-Drawer Dressers, model “HK-DS-017-CL-5D-1-W,” are wooden and white, about 31.5 by 15.75 by 50.2 inches. They have recessed power outlets and two round pull knobs per drawer. Only units without feet extensions are included.

Owners can confirm which model they have by checking the model number printed on the dresser’s packaging against the two numbers above.

Why Were Furnulem Dressers Recalled?

Furnulem 8-Drawer and 5-Drawer Dressers were recalled because they are unstable if not anchored to the wall. This creates tip-over and entrapment hazards that can cause serious injury or death to a child. Both models violate the mandatory clothing storage unit standard the STURDY Act required CPSC to adopt. It took effect under 16 CFR Part 1261, incorporating ASTM F2057-23’s stability-test requirements [3]. Congress passed the STURDY Act in December 2022, and CPSC determined in 2023 that this standard meets its requirements. A dresser that fails it, or ships without required anchoring hardware and warning labels, cannot legally be sold.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The CPSC notices for both the December 2025 and February 2026 Furnulem dresser recalls list incidents, injuries and deaths as none reported, for either the 8-Drawer or the 5-Drawer model, as of the dates each notice was published. CPSC opened each recall after determining the dressers failed its clothing-storage-unit safety rule, not after receiving a report of a child being hurt. A zero count does not mean the hazard is theoretical: the same unanchored dressers that failed the federal standard are still in homes, and both recalls stay active, so the count could change if a later report comes in.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own a recalled Furnulem 8-Drawer or 5-Drawer Dresser, still unanchored to the wall, should take the following steps right away:

1. Stop using the dresser immediately if it is not anchored to the wall.
2. Keep the dresser in an area that children cannot access until it is anchored or removed.
3. Contact Furnulem for instructions on disposing of the dresser to receive a full refund.
4. Email a photo showing the dresser disposed of to support@furnulem.com to complete the refund.
5. Reach Furnulem collect at 310-227-9560 (9 a.m.-4 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday) or at furnulem.com/pages/voluntary-safety-recall with questions, or report a dangerous product to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov.

Legal Options

No lawsuit or multidistrict litigation has been filed against Furnulem or Shanghai Taiye Furniture Co., Ltd. over either recall. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation‘s pending-docket list carries no dresser or clothing-storage-unit tip-over listing [4]. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Families who believe an unanchored Furnulem dresser hurt a child can request a free, individual case review. The review promises no particular outcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Dressers Does the Furnulem Dresser Recall Lawsuit Cover?

The Furnulem dresser recall lawsuit covers about 16,850 dressers combined: about 16,800 8-Drawer Dressers under Recall No. 26-153 (announced December 18, 2025) and about 50 5-Drawer Dressers under Recall No. 26-247 (announced February 5, 2026).

Has Furnulem Recalled More than One Dresser Model?

Yes, Furnulem has recalled more than one dresser model: CPSC opened the 8-Drawer recall first, then opened a second, separate recall for the 5-Drawer model about seven weeks later. Both recalls cite the same tip-over risk.

Do I Need a Lawyer for the Furnulem Dresser Recall Lawsuit?

You do not need a lawyer for the Furnulem dresser recall lawsuit just to get a refund – contacting Furnulem handles that. A lawyer becomes relevant only if a child was hurt, since no lawsuit or MDL has been filed and any claim would be reviewed individually.

How Common Are Dresser Tip-Over Injuries?

Dresser tip-over injuries are common enough that CPSC tracks them as a distinct hazard: about 22,500 emergency-room injuries a year, plus 218 deaths involving a dresser, most of them children. Both Furnulem recalls report zero incidents so far, but anchoring one guards against that risk.

What Tests Do Clothing Storage Units Like Furnulem Dressers Have to Pass?

Clothing storage units like Furnulem dressers must pass three ASTM F2057-23 stability tests before sale. These are a loaded-drawer test, a horizontal force test at the highest hand-hold, and a weighted carpet-tilt test simulating a climbing child. CPSC calls this its mandatory standard.

What Happens If I Do Not Return My Recalled Furnulem Dresser?

If you do not return a recalled Furnulem dresser, you keep an unstable product in your home. CPSC notices state that federal law bans selling any product subject to a Commission-ordered or voluntary recall.
