CPSC, Sandberg Manufacturer Co. Announce Recall of Children's Dressers
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Sandberg Manufacturer Co., of Los Angeles, Calif., is
voluntarily recalling about 8,200 children's dressers. The dresser can
tip over during use, posing a serious injury hazard to consumers.
Sandberg and CPSC have received one report of a dresser tipping over,
though no one suffered injuries.
The recalled 4-drawer children's dressers have the model number (#26224)
and production date (09-01 or older) located on the lower half of the
back of the dresser. The wooden dressers come in light brown or off-
white and have heart-shaped handles.
Independent home furnishing stores nationwide sold these dressers
from July 1999 through November 2001 for about $230.
Consumers who have the dressers should immediately stop children
from using them. Consumers should contact Sandberg Manufacturer Co. at
(800) 498-2979 between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday to
receive simple instructions for conducting an in-home repair.
