Walmart Recalls 165,000 Mainstays Fabric Dressers Over Tip-Over Danger That Could Kill Children — Mainstays 9-Drawer Fabric Dresser recalled over fall hazard May 28, 2026 (CPSC)

Walmart is pulling about 165,000 fabric dressers off the market after federal safety regulators determined the products pose a potentially deadly risk to children—the latest furniture recall tied to tip-over hazards.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of the Mainstays 9-Drawer Fabric Dresser last week, citing the product's failure to comply with federal safety law. The dressers violate the mandatory safety standard established under the STURDY Act, which governs the stability of clothing storage units.

The agency said the dressers are unstable when not anchored to a wall, creating tip-over and entrapment hazards capable of causing serious injury or death—especially to young children.

What's Being Recalled

The affected dressers feature a black metal frame with nine fabric drawers in either brown or black, accented with handles. Each unit measures roughly 40 inches long, 13.75 inches wide and 45 inches tall, and weighs 32 pounds. They were manufactured between September 2023 and December 2025 by Hop Thang Interior Wood Co. Ltd., based in Vietnam.

Consumers can identify a recalled dresser by checking for a label beneath the top panel, which displays a tracking or lot number and a manufacture date in MM/YYYY format. The product name—"Mainstays 9-Drawer Fabric Dresser"—also appears on the original packaging and receipt.

The dressers were sold exclusively through Walmart, both in stores nationwide and on Walmart.com, from September 2023 through March 2026, at a retail price of approximately $80.

What Consumers Should Do

Walmart and the CPSC are urging anyone who owns one of these dressers to stop using it immediately if it has not been secured to a wall, and to move it to a location inaccessible to children.

To receive a full refund, consumers must return the dresser's drawers to any Walmart store location. The dresser frame itself should be disposed of in accordance with local and state regulations.

No injuries or deaths have been reported in connection with the recalled dressers.

Walmart can be reached at 800-925-6278, Monday through Friday between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. Central Time. Consumers may also visit walmart.com/help or corporate.walmart.com/recalls for additional information.

Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swings

The Walmart recall follows a similar action taken earlier in May. On May 14, the CPSC announced that more than 18,000 Agio Menlo Woven Patio Swings—sold at Costco stores and on Costco.com between February and March 2026—were recalled after eight reports of the swing seat detaching from the frame and causing head and arm injuries.

In that case, consumers were advised to stop using the swings immediately and register for a free repair kit from the manufacturer. "Even if your patio swing shows no visible signs of damage, you should stop using it immediately," Agio said in its recall notice. "The issue may not be apparent during visual inspection, and continued use could result in injury."
