Product description
This recall involves defective plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) that were included in Childcraft furniture sold by School Specialty. The furniture included two plastic tip restraint kits in the box along with the product, with installation instructions. There is a label on the bottom of the furniture with the item number. Furniture that included the defective tip restraint kits is listed below along with the item number. The recalled tip restraint kits contain two white plastic brackets/mounts (one for connection to furniture and the other for connection to the wall), a white plastic cable zip tie, two different pairs of screws (one longer than the other) and two drywall anchors. CPSC's Anchor It! website, https://www.anchorit.gov/, has educational materials available to the public, including important instructions for properly anchoring furniture to prevent tip-overs.
Reason for recall
The recalled plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) can break or degrade, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards. Should the defective plastic tip restraints break, consumers could be at risk of serious injuries or death. This is a hidden defect because consumers who purchase and install this product may be under a false sense of security that their furniture is safe from a tip-over incident.
Remedy, what to do
Consumers should stop using the recalled plastic tip restraints immediately and contact School Specialty for a free replacement tip restraint kit made of stainless steel. Consumers should keep children away from any furniture secured using the recalled plastic tip restraints while waiting for a replacement tip restraint kit and should dispose of the recalled tip restraint in their household trash once they have installed the replacement tip restraint. School Specialty is contacting all consumers who purchased Childcraft furniture directly and mailing two replacement tip restraint kits to those consumers along with that notice.
