WLIVE Fabric Dresser Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

WLIVE, of China, recalled three fabric dresser models sold on Amazon: 15-Drawer, 12-Drawer, and 16-Drawer dressers. CPSC announced the recalls July 10, October 16, and October 30, 2025. Each recall covers a different drawer count and model number. The dressers are unstable if not anchored to a wall, creating a tip-over and entrapment hazard that can injure or kill a child. About 117,830 units are affected. Owners should stop use unless anchored and keep it from children. All three recalls remain open. None of the three CPSC notices lists a closure or completion date as of the date this page was last reviewed.

Latest WLIVE Fabric Dressers Recall Updates

October 30, 2025: CPSC Expands the Recall to 16-Drawer Dressers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission expanded the WLIVE recall on October 30, 2025, adding the WLIVE Fabric 16-Drawer Dresser (model ASNG093) [1]. About 34,730 units are covered under recall number 26-066. CPSC has not received any injury reports connected to this expansion. WLIVE sold the 16-Drawer model on Amazon between September 2023 and August 2025 for about $100.

October 16, 2025: CPSC Recalls WLIVE 12-Drawer Dressers After a Tip-Over Report

CPSC recalled the WLIVE Fabric 12-Drawer Dresser (model ASNG092) on October 16, 2025, covering about 76,500 units under recall number 26-022 [2]. The firm had received one report of a dresser tipping over, with no injuries reported. WLIVE priced it at about $83 on Amazon, where it sold from September 2023 to August 2025 – the least expensive of the three models.

July 10, 2025: CPSC Recalls the First WLIVE Fabric Dressers

CPSC issued the first WLIVE dresser recall on July 10, 2025. It covered the WLIVE Fabric 15-Drawer Dresser (model ASNG105), about 6,600 units, under recall number 25-380 [3]. No incidents or injuries were reported. It was sold on Amazon from April 2024 through May 2025 for about $110, the highest price of the three models. This recall has no closure date yet.

Which WLIVE Fabric Dressers Are Affected?

Three separate lines of WLIVE fabric dressers are covered by the recalls, each identified by the model number printed on the product packaging:

• WLIVE Fabric 15-Drawer Dresser, model ASNG105, in rustic brown, black, or white. It is about 12 by 40 by 51 inches.
• WLIVE Fabric 12-Drawer Dresser, model ASNG092, in charcoal black, grey, or white. It is about 39 by 12 by 48 inches.
• WLIVE Fabric 16-Drawer Dresser, model ASNG093, in the same colors as the 12-Drawer model.

All three dressers have a metal frame and fabric drawers. Owners who are unsure which model they own should check the packaging label first, or contact WLIVE directly for help identifying it.

Why Were the WLIVE Fabric Dressers Recalled?

The WLIVE Fabric Dressers were recalled because CPSC testing found them unsafe when left unanchored: an unanchored dresser can tip forward, trapping or seriously injuring a child. All three WLIVE models violate the mandatory federal Safety Standard for Clothing Storage Units, required by the STURDY Act, because CPSC found each one unstable when tested unanchored [4]. The standard requires a clothing storage unit to pass load, force, and child-weight stability tests, or to ship with an anti-tip restraint device installed. A dresser recalled for violating this standard failed one or more of those tests, shipped without the required device, or lacked the warning labels the standard requires. Securing a dresser to a wall stud prevents the tip-over CPSC’s notices describe.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Only one incident appears across the three WLIVE recall notices: the 12-Drawer notice records a dresser that tipped over, causing no injury. CPSC received no other tip-over reports for any WLIVE dresser model as of the read date. The 15-Drawer and 16-Drawer notices list none at all. These counts are not a full tally of every dresser that may have tipped. They reflect only what WLIVE told CPSC as of each notice’s publication date. A tip-over report does not by itself prove what caused a dresser to fall. CPSC’s recall notices describe reported incidents without confirming their cause or the exact circumstances behind each reported event.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who owns a WLIVE Fabric 15-Drawer, 12-Drawer, or 16-Drawer Dresser under recall should take the following steps to stay safe:

1. Stop using the dresser immediately if it is not anchored to a wall.
2. Keep the dresser away from areas where children play or sleep until it is anchored, repaired, or disposed of.
3. If keeping the dresser, anchor it securely to a wall stud using the included or a comparable anti-tip device.
4. If disposing of the dresser, contact WLIVE for instructions and take a photo of the dresser after disposal.
5. Email the disposal photo to wliveproductrecall@wlivehome.com to receive a full refund of your purchase.
6. For questions, call WLIVE at 833-367-7572 (9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday), email wliveproductrecall@wlivehome.com, or visit wlivehome.com and click “Recall.”

Legal Options

No lawsuit, class action, or multidistrict litigation has been filed over WLIVE dresser tip-overs. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation‘s pending docket list, dated March 2, 2026, lists no dresser or clothing-storage-unit litigation [5]. A recall does not automatically establish liability or entitle an owner to compensation. Someone hurt when an unanchored WLIVE dresser tipped over or trapped a child may still have an individual product-liability claim, which a lawyer can evaluate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Were All Three WLIVE Dresser Recalls Made by the Same Manufacturer?

No, not all three WLIVE dresser recalls involved the same manufacturer. CPSC’s notices name Jiangsu Zhi Pai Furniture Manufacturing Co. as the maker of the 15-Drawer and 16-Drawer dressers, while Jiangsu Pengcheng Weiye Furniture Co. made the 12-Drawer dresser, though WLIVE imported and sold all three.

What Is the STURDY Act?

The STURDY Act is a federal law, signed in December 2022, that required regulators to adopt a mandatory stability standard for clothing storage units like dressers. It led to 16 CFR 1261, effective September 1, 2023, which the recalled WLIVE dressers violate.

Can I File a Lawsuit over a WLIVE Dresser Tip-Over Injury?

Yes, you can pursue an individual product-liability claim over a WLIVE dresser tip-over injury, even without a class action or MDL. Deadlines for this kind of claim come from state law and vary by where you live and when the injury happened, so talk to a lawyer promptly.

Do All WLIVE Dressers Need to Be Anchored to the Wall?

Yes, the three recalled WLIVE dresser models need to be anchored to the wall to reduce tip-over risk. CPSC’s tip-over data shows a chest, bureau, or dresser was involved in about 38 percent of all furniture tip-over deaths nationwide, most of them children.

Does a WLIVE Refund Cover the Full Purchase Price?

Yes, a WLIVE refund covers the full purchase price. WLIVE’s recall instructions state that the company reimburses the purchase price, tax, and shipping once a consumer submits a photo confirming the dresser has been disposed of.

How Can I Report a WLIVE Dresser Tip-Over to the CPSC?

You can report a WLIVE dresser tip-over to the CPSC. Use SaferProducts.gov, the agency’s public database for product-related injuries, or call its hotline at 800-638-2772. CPSC uses these reports to track hazards and decide whether further recall action is needed.
