YaFiti’s 12-Drawer White Dresser, model HI1318_02, was recalled by CPSC on June 18, 2025, under recall number 25-341. About 6,000 of the white dressers were sold exclusively on Amazon.com, from September 2023 through March 2025, for about $95.
An unanchored YaFiti dresser can tip over or trap a child, creating a hazard serious enough to cause injury or death. The dresser’s design violates the federal clothing storage unit standard required by the STURDY Act.
Anyone with an unanchored YaFiti dresser should stop using it immediately and move it out of children’s reach. Contact YaFiti to arrange disposal for a refund. This YaFiti recall stays open: CPSC has posted no closure notice.
Latest YaFiti Dresser Recall Updates
June 18, 2025: CPSC Announces the Recall
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 6,000 YaFiti 12-Drawer White Dressers sold exclusively on Amazon.com, as the CPSC recall notice states [1].
The dressers are unstable if unanchored, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards. CPSC found that the design violates the federal safety standard required for this category of furniture. No injuries had been reported when the notice was issued.
Which YaFiti Dressers Are Affected?
The recall covers one product: the YaFiti 12-Drawer White Dresser. Check the outer packaging box for the model number before assuming your dresser is included. The affected dresser is:
- YaFiti 12-Drawer White Dresser – model number HI1318_02, printed on the outer packaging box, the only identifier needed to confirm your dresser is included
- Color and size: sold only in white, measuring about 39 inches long, 12 inches wide and 45 inches high overall
- Sold at: exclusively through Amazon.com between September 2023 and March 2025, priced around $95, with no other retailer or price point involved
The dresser was sold by YaFiti Store and manufactured by Shenzhen Leader-Union Technology Co. Ltd. of China. No other YaFiti dresser model, size, or color is part of this specific recall.
Why Were the YaFiti Dressers Recalled?
YaFiti recalled the 12-Drawer White Dresser because it is unstable when not anchored to a wall. An unanchored dresser can tip over, trapping and badly hurting a young child underneath it.
CPSC found that the dresser’s design violates the mandatory clothing storage unit standard that Congress required under the STURDY Act [2].
That standard sets stability requirements for dressers of this size and weight. It sets how much force and load a drawer must withstand before a unit tips over.
CPSC’s notice states the hazard and the standard violation as the reasons for the recall. It does not describe a specific incident that triggered it. The design itself was the problem CPSC identified.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC’s recall notice lists no reported incidents, injuries, or deaths connected to the YaFiti 12-Drawer White Dresser. A clean incident record for one specific product does not mean tip-over furniture is safe in general, across every brand.
CPSC’s most recent tip-over report found an estimated annual average of 22,500 emergency-department-treated injuries from 2018 through 2020. It also counted 581 tip-over fatalities from 2000 through 2020, most involving children.
Anyone who believes a YaFiti dresser caused an injury should still contact CPSC and keep records. The notice itself reports none.
What Should Consumers Do?
Consumers who own one of the recalled white YaFiti dressers, sold on Amazon, should take the following steps right away:
- Stop using the dresser right away unless it is properly anchored to a wall to prevent it from tipping over.
- Move the dresser to an area that young children cannot access until it is anchored to the wall or disposed of.
- Contact YaFiti directly for instructions on how to dispose of the dresser safely once it has been removed from use.
- Email a clear photo of the fully disposed dresser to Yafitiservice@outlook.com in order to receive your full refund promptly from YaFiti.
- Reach YaFiti toll-free at 877-452-4067, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, if you have questions about the remedy.
- Fill in the form YaFiti provides online with your name, address, phone, email and Amazon order number. YaFiti says it will respond within 24-48 business hours.
- Report a stalled refund or a non-responsive company through the recall notice’s remedy-problem form. Report a new injury at SaferProducts.gov instead.
Legal Options
A CPSC recall does not automatically establish liability, fault, or eligibility for compensation for any specific injury caused by the product.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation has created no MDL for dresser or clothing-storage-unit tip-over cases, so no consolidated federal litigation exists over these products [3].
Families whose child was hurt by an unanchored dresser, or who believe they have a related claim, can have the facts reviewed individually. An individual review looks beyond the recall record at the specific circumstances of the injury.
Filing Deadlines
Because no legal case has yet been brought over this recall, no case-specific filing window exists yet for a YaFiti dresser claim.
General product-liability deadlines are set by state law. They vary with where you live and when you discovered the hazard or an injury linked to it.
Missing that window can end a claim regardless of its strength. Anyone weighing legal options should speak with a lawyer promptly rather than wait.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the YaFiti Dresser Recall Still Active?
Yes, this YaFiti dresser recall is still active. CPSC opened it on June 18, 2025 and has posted no closure notice as of October 19, 2026. Owners should keep checking CPSC’s recall page or YaFiti’s own channels for updates on the remedy.
Why Are These Dressers Considered Dangerous?
These dressers are dangerous because they can tip over or trap a child if left unanchored. That design fails the federal safety rule for this furniture category. CPSC data show 218 tip-over deaths nationally involved a chest, bureau, or dresser, 87 percent of them children.
Was This Recall Also Posted on CPSC’s Anchor It Site?
Yes, this recall was also posted on CPSC’s Anchor It anchoring-safety campaign site. That listing mirrors the cpsc.gov notice and confirms no injuries have been reported for this specific dresser.
What Happens If YaFiti Does Not Respond to My Refund Request?
If YaFiti does not respond to a refund request, you are not stuck. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270), or use the non-responsive-company form referenced in the steps above. Either route can help when a recall remedy is not honored.
Do I Need a Receipt to Get My YaFiti Refund?
No, you do not need a receipt to get your YaFiti refund. CPSC’s notice requires only a photo of the disposed dresser as proof, emailed to Yafitiservice@outlook.com.
What Happens If a YaFiti Dresser Recall Lawsuit Is Filed Later?
If a YaFiti dresser recall lawsuit is filed later, it would be a new case. You do not have to wait for a filing, since a review of the injury can start now.
