American Bolt and Screw recalls 12,890 tip-over restraint kits for Canyon furniture units

American Bolt and Screw has issued a voluntary recall of tip-over restraint kits distributed with Canyon Furniture clothing storage units. These kits include a plastic zip tie that may become brittle and break, which can cause attached furniture to tip over and create serious safety risks. The recall was initiated after safety reports highlighted potential hazards.

An estimated 12,890 units are affected. The kits were shipped with Canyon Furniture Co. dressers and chests sold exclusively at Rooms To Go stores across the United States. American Bolt and Screw is working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and has stopped distributing the affected kits. The company is offering free replacements to address this issue.
