Ridgewood recalls four-drawer dressers

Ridgewood Industries of Canada is recalling about 1 million Belmont four-drawer dressers.

The dressers are unstable and can tip over if not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children.

Additionally, those models of dressers over 30 inches tall do not comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard (ASTM F2057-14).

No incidents or injuries are reported.

This recall includes Belmont four-drawer dressers with plastic drawer glides.

The recalled dressers were sold in two sizes and four colors, each with its own model number, which can be found on the instruction manual that came with each.

The dressers, manufactured in Canada, were sold at Kmart stores nationwide from April 2013, to November 2018, for about $40.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using any recalled dresser that is not properly anchored to a wall and place them in an area that children cannot access.

Contact Ridgewood to receive a free anchoring kit, including a wall anchor strap. Consumers can request a one-time, free in-home installation of the wall anchor strap.

Consumers may contact Ridgewood toll-free at (888) 222-7460 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (CT), or visit www.ameriwood.com and click on “recalls” at the bottom of the page for more information.
