About 610 of the brown or white dressers were sold in the US. Each one is unstable if not anchored, risking tip-over and entrapment injuries.

Latest Gunaito Dresser Recall Updates

November 3, 2025: Health Canada Recalls the Same Dressers in Canada

Health Canada published its own recall notice for the same Gunaito 10-Drawer Dressers on November 3, 2025. [1] It reported about 38 units sold in Canada from January through August 2025.

The Canadian notice cites the same tip-over and entrapment risk as the US recall. It also reminds owners that Canadian law bars reselling, giving away, or passing on a recalled dresser.

October 2, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall of About 610 Gunaito Dressers

CPSC announced a voluntary recall (No. 26-004) of about 610 Gunaito 10-Drawer Dressers sold only on Walmart.com. It cited an unanchored tip-over and entrapment risk to children. The full notice is linked in the at-a-glance box above.

Changzhou Hengze Home Furnishing Co., Ltd. manufactured the dresser, and Gunaito Direct imported it. Both companies are based in China and are named in the notice. CPSC found the dresser did not meet the required stability rule.

Which Gunaito Dressers Are Affected?

The recall covers one Gunaito dresser style, sold only on Walmart.com, identified by these details:

  • Gunaito 10-Drawer Dresser in brown or white, with a metal frame and a wooden top
  • Ten collapsible fabric drawers of different sizes with pull knobs and four side pockets
  • Packaging marked “HD006BN-SLCD” (brown) or “HD006WH-SLCD” (white)
  • About 39 inches long, 39 inches wide, and 12 inches high, weighing about 30 pounds
  • Sold only on Walmart.com from December 2024 through August 2025 for about $70
  • Made by Changzhou Hengze Home Furnishing Co. and imported by Gunaito Direct, both based in China

Owners can compare these details against their own dresser to confirm whether it is included. CPSC Recall Number 26-004 identifies this recall.

Why Were the Gunaito Dressers Recalled?

The Gunaito Dressers were recalled because they fail the mandatory federal stability rule for clothing storage units. Without that rule’s protection, the dressers can tip over and entrap children when not anchored to a wall.

CPSC requires clothing storage units to pass ASTM F2057-23 stability testing. [2] That testing requirement comes from the STURDY Act, and the recalled dressers did not meet it. [3]

The notice does not describe a defect in a specific part. It covers the dresser’s overall stability when it is not anchored to a wall.

No injuries had been logged when CPSC published the notice. Even so, CPSC still requires the recall when a product misses the stability standard.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice reports no incidents, injuries, or deaths connected to the Gunaito 10-Drawer Dresser. That is current as of the October 2025 announcement. Health Canada’s parallel notice for the Canadian units also reports no incidents.

A report of zero incidents does not mean the hazard is unlikely. CPSC’s tip-over data show these hazards are common nationwide. [4] The agency can recall a product before injuries or deaths add up.

Consumers who believe a Gunaito dresser tipped over, caused an injury, or trapped a child should still report it. Reporting to the agency after the notice’s publication can update CPSC’s official incident count.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada’s separate action covering this same dresser is detailed above, in Latest Updates, so it is not repeated here.

CPSC’s own Gunaito recall notice page also lists other, unrelated clothing storage unit dresser recalls in its Related Recalls listings. Those recalls cite the same tip-over and entrapment hazard, from different manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Safety Standard Did the Gunaito Dresser Fail?

The Gunaito Dresser failed ASTM F2057-23, the clothing storage unit stability standard named in the recall notice. The standard sets three tests. These are a clothing-load test and a 10-pound horizontal-force test. The third is a carpet test with a 60-pound weight on an open drawer.

What Is the STURDY Act?

The STURDY Act is a federal law. It was signed in December 2022 and required CPSC to adopt a stability standard for clothing storage units like dressers. CPSC met that requirement with ASTM F2057-23, effective nationwide in September 2023.

How Common Are Furniture Tip-Over Injuries and Deaths?

Furniture tip-over injuries and deaths are common. CPSC counted about 22,500 emergency-room visits a year between 2018 and 2020. The agency also logged at least 581 deaths from 2000 through 2020. Chests, bureaus, or dressers were involved in about 38 percent of those deaths.

Is There an Online Way to Contact Gunaito About the Recall?

Yes, owners can also contact Gunaito online at gunaito.com/pages/recall instead of emailing gunaito10recall@outlook.com. Both channels start the same refund process described above, and either one accepts the required photo of the disposed dresser.

Are Other Gunaito Dresser Models Included in This Recall?

No, other Gunaito dresser models are not included in this recall. CPSC’s notice names only the 10-drawer style, marked “HD006BN-SLCD” or “HD006WH-SLCD.” Gunaito’s other dresser sizes are sold separately. They fall outside Recall Number 26-004.

Was the Gunaito Dresser Recall Announced Outside the United States?

Yes, the recall was also announced outside the United States. Health Canada issued a matching recall for the same dressers sold there. As of October 31, 2025, the company had reported no injuries in Canada. Canadian consumers can also reach Gunaito Direct at mackerel889@163.com.
