The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Lulive Home US recalled about 3,500 Lulive 12-Drawer Dressers on August 28, 2025. The white dressers have a metal frame, a wooden top, and 12 fabric drawers.
The dressers can tip over if not secured to a wall. CPSC warns of a tip-over and entrapment risk to children. The recall says the dressers did not meet the federal clothing-storage-unit standard the STURDY Act required CPSC to adopt.
Consumers should stop using an unanchored dresser and keep it away from children until it is anchored or disposed of. Lulive is offering a full refund, and the recall remains open with no injuries reported.

Latest Lulive Dressers Recall Updates
August 28, 2025: Recall Announced for Lulive Dressers
On August 28, 2025, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced this voluntary action together with Lulive. The recall covers about 3,500 of the 12-Drawer Dressers sold through Amazon [1].
CPSC’s notice says the dressers can tip over or trap a child if left unsecured. This violates the federal clothing-storage-unit rule. The company is offering a full refund to affected buyers.
Which Lulive Dressers Are Affected?
Only one Lulive dresser model is included in this recall. It is the Lulive 12-Drawer Dresser, identified by the features and packaging code below:
- Color and construction: white finish, with a metal frame and a wooden top
- Drawers and features: 12 collapsing fabric drawers of different sizes with handles, four side pockets, and two hooks
- Size and weight: about 12 inches by 39 inches by 45 inches, weighing about 30 pounds
- Identification: the code “KF-X9Y1” is printed on the product packaging.
- Sold at: Amazon.com, between March and June 2025, for about $90 to $100.
Consumers can match their dresser against these details. Checking the packaging code helps decide whether the recall applies to them.
Why Were the Lulive Dressers Recalled?
The Lulive 12-Drawer Dressers were recalled because they can tip over easily. An unanchored dresser creates a serious tip-over and entrapment risk that can injure or kill a child.
The dressers also violate the mandatory federal safety standard for clothing storage units. Congress required this standard under the STURDY Act, a law passed in December 2022 to reduce furniture tip-over deaths.
The STURDY Act’s full name is the Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth Act. It directed the Consumer Product Safety Commission to adopt a safety standard for clothing storage units.
CPSC determined in April 2023 that the ASTM F2057-23 voluntary standard meets the law’s requirements [2]. Clothing storage units made after September 1, 2023 must comply with it.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
No injuries or deaths had been reported to CPSC or Lulive as of the August 28, 2025 recall notice. The notice covers dressers sold across the United States.
CPSC’s most recent tip-over report found an estimated annual average of 22,500 emergency-department-treated furniture tip-over injuries nationwide. It counted these from 2018 through 2020 [3].
That national count is separate from the roughly 3,500 Lulive dressers covered by this recall. CPSC tracks tip-over injuries and deaths nationally and lists clothing storage units, including dressers, among the products linked to that hazard.
Consumers can report a tip-over incident or injury involving this dresser to CPSC through SaferProducts.gov. That is the agency’s reporting channel named in the recall notice.
What Should Consumers Do?
Consumers who own a recalled Lulive 12-Drawer Dresser should take the following steps:
- Stop using the dresser immediately unless it is anchored to the wall. Keep children away from it until it is secured, following CPSC’s Anchor It! campaign guidance [4].
- Contact Lulive for instructions on how to dispose of the dresser and receive a full refund.
- Email a photo of the disposed dresser to lulive12recall@sina.com to complete the refund process.
- Call Lulive toll-free at 866-610-4348 (9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday), or visit Lulive’s official recall page for more information [5].
- Report any tip-over incident or injury to CPSC. Use SaferProducts.gov or call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is the STURDY Act?
The STURDY Act is the 2022 federal law that required CPSC to adopt a stability standard for clothing storage units. That standard specifies three required tests: a clothing-load test, a horizontal-force test, and a carpet-with-child-weight test. A dresser must meet it to be sold legally.
Has a Lawsuit Been Filed over the Lulive Dresser Recall?
No lawsuit has been filed against Lulive over this dresser recall. No multidistrict litigation covering dresser or clothing-storage-unit tip-over claims has been established. No federal court has taken up such a case to date.
Do I Need to Anchor a Lulive Dresser Even If I Am Returning It?
Yes, you need to anchor a Lulive dresser even if you are returning it. CPSC’s remedy instructions call for keeping it secured and away from children throughout the return process. The tip-over hazard remains until the unit is fixed or removed from the home.
Who Manufactures the Lulive Dresser?
The recalled Lulive 12-Drawer Dressers were manufactured by Changzhou Hengze Home Furnishing Co., based in China. Lulive Home US, also based in China, imported and sold them in the United States, according to the CPSC recall notice.
Is a Lulive Dresser Safe If I Anchor It Myself?
Anchoring a Lulive dresser reduces the tip-over risk. CPSC’s recall still applies because the dresser did not meet the mandatory clothing storage unit standard. It may have failed a stability test, or shipped without the anti-tip device or warning labels required. Lulive recommends its refund and disposal remedy instead.
What Is a Clothing Storage Unit?
A “clothing storage unit” under CPSC’s rule is free-standing bedroom furniture with drawers or hinged doors. The Lulive dresser is one example. It must be at least 27 inches tall and weigh at least 30 pounds. It must also offer at least 3.2 cubic feet of enclosed storage space.
