Latest Shintenchi Dressers Recall Updates
February 5, 2026: Recall Announced for About 600 Shintenchi Dressers
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of about 600 Shintenchi dressers on February 5, 2026, citing tip-over and entrapment hazards. Recall No. 26-238 lists no injuries.
This is the only dated development in the Shintenchi dresser matter so far. No lawsuit, class action, settlement, or additional recall has followed as of this review, based on searches for filed cases and CPSC’s own recall list.
Which Shintenchi Dressers Are Affected?
The recall covers one style of Shintenchi 6-Drawer Dresser, sold in two colors and identified by the following details:
- White or black six-drawer dressers with golden metal feet
- About 15.7 inches deep by 47.2 inches wide by 30.5 inches high
- Model “SHX12077-WH” embossed on the underside of the dresser, at the top of one metal foot, and printed on the product packaging
The marking sits on the underside of the dresser, at the top of one metal foot. You may need to tip the dresser slightly to see it.
If your dresser matches these details, treat it as part of the recall and follow the steps below. Shintenchi’s own recall notice lists the same size and marking, so you can check either source.
Why Were the Shintenchi Dressers Recalled?
The Shintenchi Dressers were recalled because they are unstable when not anchored to the wall. An unanchored dresser can tip over and trap a child, causing serious injury or death.
The dressers also violate the mandatory clothing storage unit standard required by the STURDY Act, the Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth Act [1].
The Shintenchi Dressers specifically failed 16 CFR Part 1261, the CPSC clothing storage unit standard that incorporates ASTM F2057-23, which every clothing storage unit this size must pass before it can lawfully be sold.
Shanghai Kase International Trade Co., Ltd., doing business as Shintenchi, imported and sold the dressers. Huizhou Sunhouse Home Furnishings Co., Ltd. manufactured them in China.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
The CPSC notice reports no injuries or illnesses connected to the recalled Shintenchi Dressers. No incident reports had reached the agency as of the February 5, 2026 recall announcement.
An absence of reported incidents does not mean the hazard is unlikely. Anchoring the dresser to the wall addresses the tip-over hazard the recall describes.
Taking it out of use until you dispose of it also reduces the risk, whether or not an incident has been reported. Furniture tip-overs are a recognized national hazard, according to CPSC’s most recent tip-over report [2].
The report found an estimated 22,500 emergency-room injuries a year from 2018 through 2020, and 581 reported deaths from 2000 through 2020, most involving children.
Families who believe a Shintenchi dresser contributed to a child’s injury can still report it to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, even though the notice itself lists no incidents.
What Should Consumers Do?
Anyone with a Shintenchi 6-Drawer Dresser at home should take the following steps:
- Stop using the dresser immediately unless it is securely anchored to the wall.
- Keep the dresser in a room or area that children cannot access.
- Contact Shintenchi for instructions on how to dispose of the dresser before doing so.
- Email a photo confirming the dresser’s disposal to ShintenchiRecall@hotmail.com to receive a full refund.
- Visit Shintenchi’s own recall page for written instructions and updates, or call CPSC’s toll-free hotline at 800-638-2772 with questions [3].
- Report any tip-over, entrapment, or other safety incident involving this dresser to CPSC directly through SaferProducts.gov.
Legal Options
A CPSC recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Families whose child was injured by a tipping or unanchored Shintenchi dresser may still have grounds for an individual product liability claim.
Preserving the dresser, its packaging, receipts, and photos supports that claim. No lawsuit, class action, or MDL has been filed over Shintenchi dressers. Claims against small brands like this one usually proceed one by one, not as a group case.
Filing Deadlines
Deadlines for filing a product injury claim come from state law, not from this recall. How much time you have depends on where you live and when the injury happened or was discovered.
Some states start the clock at diagnosis instead of the injury date. Missing a filing deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong, so a lawyer can confirm the deadline that applies before you file.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Children Are Injured by Dresser Tip-Overs?
Dresser tip-overs injure and kill children nationwide. CPSC has recorded tip-over deaths across all ages. Of those, 218 involved a chest, bureau, or dresser, and 189 of those 218, or 87 percent, were children.
What Should I Do If My Child Has Been Injured by a Dresser Tip-Over?
If your child has been injured by a dresser tip-over, seek medical care first, then keep the evidence already listed in Legal Options above. A legal review can help determine whether those facts support a claim.
Is the Shintenchi Dresser Recall Still Active?
Yes, the Shintenchi Dresser Recall, No. 26-238, was still active as of September 21, 2026, the date this page was last checked against the CPSC notice and Shintenchi’s own recall page. Neither source showed a closure update.
What Safety Standard Did the Shintenchi Dressers Fail?
The Shintenchi Dressers failed to meet 16 CFR 1261, the federal clothing storage unit standard adopted under the STURDY Act. That standard requires dressers this size to pass tip and stability tests. One test loads weight onto an open drawer and checks that the dresser does not tip.
Does a Product Recall Prove Shintenchi Is Liable?
No, a product recall does not by itself prove that Shintenchi is liable or that a family is eligible for compensation. A recall means CPSC found the product unsafe under a federal standard. Whether a specific family can recover damages depends on the individual facts of a legal review.
Where Were the Recalled Shintenchi Dressers Sold?
The recalled Shintenchi dressers were sold exclusively on Amazon.com between July 2025 and August 2025, for about $130 each. No other retailer or sales channel is named in the CPSC notice or on Shintenchi’s own recall page.
