SEJOV Dresser Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

SEJOV Dresser Lawsuit Overview

The SEJOV dresser lawsuits arise from tip-over and entrapment hazards posed by their five-drawer dressers, which are unstable if not properly anchored to a wall.

The primary allegations against SEJOV, a China-based company, center on the dressers’ failure to comply with the performance and warning label requirements of the STURDY Act (Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth Act) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) implementing regulations for clothing storage units.

Latest SEJOV Dresser Lawsuit Updates

• February 27, 2025 – According to The Lyon Firm, consumers affected by SEJOV’s defective dressers may have legal grounds to seek compensation for injury risk or non-compliance with federal safety standards [1].
• February 20, 2025 – SEJOV issued a complete product recall of their 5-drawer dressers in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission due to tip-over and entrapment hazards. The recall affects all SEJOV dressers with SKU numbers SPG0000905N, SPG0000905BN, SPG0000905B and SPG0000905.

CPSC Reports and Statistics

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has documented significant furniture tip-over incidents involving clothing storage units, such as the SEJOV five-drawer dressers.

According to the CPSC’s 2023 report, furniture, television, and appliance tip-overs result in an estimated annual average of 17,800 emergency department-treated injuries from 2020 to 2022, with 44% (approximately 7,832) involving children under 18 years old.

Children ages 1–3 account for 22% of these injuries, making them a significant proportion of victims, though not necessarily the majority.

From January 2000 to July 2023, the CPSC reports 602 tip-over fatalities across all ages, with 472 (78%) involving children ages 17 and younger, and 93% of child fatalities involving those 5 and younger.

Bedroom furniture, particularly chests, bureaus, and dressers, accounts for approximately 82% of furniture-related tip-over injuries and 52% of furniture-only fatalities (79 of 150 furniture-only deaths from 2000–2016).

The SEJOV dresser recall, announced on February 20, 2025, cited two reports of instability with no injuries, reflecting the broader tip-over risks highlighted by these statistics.

SEJOV Dresser Injuries & Side Effects

SEJOV dressers pose several serious health and safety risks when not properly anchored to walls, particularly for young children.

• Crushing Injuries: Heavy dressers can cause severe trauma to chest, abdomen, and limbs
• Head Trauma: Impact injuries causing concussions, contusions, or more severe traumatic brain injuries
• Entrapment: Children can become trapped under fallen furniture leading to suffocation
• Death: In severe cases, furniture tip-overs can be fatal, particularly for small children

SEJOV Dresser Recall Information

The SEJOV dresser recall began on February 20, 2025. The recall affects Sejov 5-drawer dressers sold in white and black with gold-colored round knobs and elevated legs.

These dressers measure 36 inches tall, 29 inches wide and 15 ¾ inches deep, with SKU numbers SPG0000905N, SPG0000905BN, SPG0000905B or SPG0000905 appearing on the product packaging.

“The recalled dressers are unstable if they are not properly anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in injuries or death to children,” CPSC said. “The firm has received two reports of the dressers being unstable.”

The CPSC Recall Number for this item is 25-145. If you purchased a recalled dresser, you should stop using it immediately if it is not properly anchored to a wall and place it in an area that children cannot access.

Contact SEJOV for instructions to receive a full refund and submit a photo of the consumer disposing of the product.

Statute of Limitations for SEJOV Dresser Lawsuits

The statute of limitations for filing a SEJOV dresser lawsuit varies by state but typically ranges from 1-3 years from the date of injury.

Some states may also recognize a “discovery rule,” meaning the time limit begins when you discovered or reasonably should have discovered the connection between the injury and the product.

For cases involving minors, many states toll (pause) the statute of limitations until the child reaches the age of majority, typically 18 years old.

FAQs

1. How do I know if my SEJOV dresser is part of the recall?

Check the SKU number on your product packaging for SPG0000905N, SPG0000905BN, SPG0000905B or SPG0000905. The recalled dressers are 5-drawer models measuring 36 inches tall, 29 inches wide and 15 ¾ inches deep, available in white or black with gold-colored knobs.

2. What should I do if I own a recalled SEJOV dresser?

Stop using the dresser immediately if it is not properly anchored to a wall. Place it in an area inaccessible to children. Contact SEJOV for refund instructions, which will require photographic evidence of disposal.

3. How much compensation can I receive for a SEJOV dresser injury case?

Compensation varies based on injury severity, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other factors. Settlements for serious injuries from furniture tip-overs have ranged from tens of thousands to millions of dollars in similar cases.

4. Who is liable in a furniture tip-over case?

Multiple parties may be liable, including the manufacturer (SEJOV), retailers (like Amazon), distributors, and potentially other entities involved in the supply chain.

5. Do I need a lawyer to file a SEJOV dresser lawsuit?

While not legally required, working with an experienced product liability attorney significantly increases your chances of receiving fair compensation, as these cases can involve complex legal and technical issues.

6. How long will a SEJOV dresser lawsuit take to resolve?

The timeline varies widely depending on case complexity, evidence available, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Most product liability cases resolve within 1-3 years.

7. Will I have to go to court for my SEJOV dresser lawsuit?

Many product liability cases settle before trial, but court appearances may be necessary. Your attorney will represent you throughout the process and prepare you for any required appearances.

8. What if the tip-over accident occurred before the recall?

You may still have a valid claim. The recall acknowledgement of the hazard can actually strengthen cases that occurred before the official recall announcement.

9. What if my child was partially responsible for the tip-over?

Children, especially young children, are not typically held to adult standards of care. Products designed for use around children should account for foreseeable misuse, including climbing.
