Vasicar Dresser Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

CPSC recalled Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers on January 8, 2026, citing a tip-over and entrapment danger to children. The recalling firm sold about 4,155 of the fabric dressers online through Amazon.com. The recalled dressers are 18-drawer units in black, white, gray, or mixed colors. Each has a metal frame and wooden top. CPSC found the dressers unstable when left without wall anchoring, creating a tip-over and entrapment hazard for children. Consumers should stop using an unanchored dresser, keep it away from children, and contact Vasicar for a refund. CPSC lists the recall as open and active, with no injuries reported to date.

January 8, 2026: CPSC Announces Recall of Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers

On January 8, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of about 4,155 Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers [1]. Shanghai Jingtin Technology Co., Ltd. sold the dressers under the Vasicar brand. The dressers violate the mandatory federal safety standard for clothing storage units, designated CPSC recall No. 26-174. They can tip over and trap a child if not anchored to the wall.

Which Vasicar Dressers Are Affected?

The recall covers Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers sold in four color and pattern options, identified by the packaging label:

• Black – packaging marked “VR-US18D-Black”
• White – packaging marked “VR-US18D-White”
• Gray – packaging marked “VR-US18D-Gray”
• Mixed pattern – packaging marked “VR-US18D-Mixed”

Every recalled dresser has a metal frame, a wooden top, and 18 collapsible fabric drawers. It measures about 37.8 inches long, 11.8 inches wide, and 57.1 inches tall. Shanghai Jingtin Technology Co., Ltd. sold the dressers exclusively online at Amazon.com between September 2025 and November 2025, for about $120 each. Consumers can check the printed code on the product packaging box. That code confirms whether their dresser is part of this recall.

Why Were the Vasicar Dressers Recalled?

CPSC recalled Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers because they fail the federal safety standard that applies to clothing storage units. Left unanchored, the dressers pose a tip-over and entrapment risk. Under the STURDY Act, CPSC determined that ASTM F2057-23 meets the law’s safety requirements for clothing storage units [2]. That determination came on April 19, 2023. That standard requires every clothing storage unit to pass three stability tests. Those are a clothing-load test, a horizontal-force test, and a carpet-with-child-weight test. CPSC’s rule, 16 CFR Part 1261, took effect on September 1, 2023 [3]. It has applied to every clothing storage unit made since, regardless of brand. The rule applies to free-standing furniture at least 27 inches tall and 30 pounds. It also requires at least 3.2 cubic feet of storage capacity. The recalled Vasicar dressers exceed those dimensions and fall under the mandatory standard.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice states that no incidents or injuries had been reported for Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers in the United States. That was true as of the January 8, 2026 announcement. CPSC issued the recall after the dressers failed the mandatory stability standard. That standard exists to prevent a tip-over or entrapment injury before one is reported. The hazard applies to every unanchored unit, whether or not anyone has been hurt. Reports CPSC receives are not proof that a specific product caused a specific injury. That holds whether or not the dresser was anchored. Consumers who notice a tip-over or entrapment problem with this dresser can report it directly to CPSC.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own a recalled Vasicar 18-Drawer Dresser should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the dresser immediately if it is not anchored to a wall.
2. Move the dresser to an area that children cannot access until it is anchored or disposed of.
3. Contact Vasicar by email at vasicarus2025@outlook.com for instructions on how to dispose of the dresser.
4. Take a photo of the dresser showing it has been disposed of. Email that photo to vasicarus2025@outlook.com to receive a full refund.
5. Report a tip-over, entrapment, or other safety concern to CPSC. Use SaferProducts.gov or call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.

Legal Options

No lawsuit, class action, or multidistrict litigation has been filed over Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers. A recall does not automatically establish that Vasicar or Shanghai Jingtin Technology is legally liable. It does not by itself create eligibility for compensation. Families who believe an unanchored, recalled Vasicar dresser caused a child’s injury can request a free case review. Schmidt & Clark provides that review at no cost. A review of the facts could show whether a claim is possible here.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing a legal claim come from state law, not from CPSC’s recall. How much time a family has depends on where they live and when the injury and diagnosis occurred. Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong. Anyone considering a claim should speak with a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Vasicar Dresser Recall Still Active?

Yes, the Vasicar Dresser Recall is still active. As of September 22, 2026, CPSC had not announced that this recall was closed or terminated. Vasicar’s refund remedy remains available to affected consumers.

Can You File a Lawsuit over the Vasicar Dresser Recall?

You can, but Vasicar 18-Drawer Dressers have not been named in a lawsuit or class action to date. The JPML’s pending-MDL list, current through March 2, 2026, carries no dresser or clothing-storage-unit matter. A claim over this recall would proceed case by case instead of through a class action.

What Should I Do with a Vasicar Dresser I Already Anchored to the Wall?

If a recalled Vasicar dresser is properly anchored to the wall, you do not have to stop using it. CPSC’s notice does not require that step. Anchoring removes the tip-over risk the recall addresses. Vasicar’s refund remedy is still available regardless of whether the dresser was anchored.

Are Other Vasicar Dresser Models Included in This Recall?

No, only the Vasicar 18-Drawer Dresser is included in this recall. Vasicar also sells a 12-drawer dresser measuring 43.3 inches wide. It is currently listed for sale on Amazon.com, and CPSC has announced no recall for that model.
