Own a Mainstays 9-Drawer Fabric Dresser from Walmart? Keep it away from children and return the drawers to any Walmart store for a full refund.
What Is Being Recalled?
Walmart, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is recalling about 165,000 Mainstays 9-Drawer Fabric Dressers. The recall was announced May 28, 2026, and assigned recall number 26-522. The dressers were manufactured by Hop Thang Interior Wood Co. Ltd., of Vietnam, and sold under Walmart's Mainstays house brand.The recalled dressers have a black metal frame and nine brown or black fabric drawers with handles. They measure about 40 inches long, 13.75 inches wide and 45 inches tall and weigh about 32 pounds. The tracking/lot number and the manufacture date in MM/YYYY format are printed on a label under the dresser's top panel, which is what consumers use to confirm whether their dresser is included. The dressers were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com from September 2023 through March 2026 for about $80.
Why Are the Dressers Dangerous?
According to the CPSC recall notice, the recalled dressers are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in serious injury or death to children. The dressers violate the mandatory federal safety standard for clothing storage units required by the STURDY Act, a law enacted to reduce furniture tip-over deaths and injuries among children. No incidents or injuries had been reported in connection with the recalled dressers at the time it was announced.Because an unanchored dresser can tip over onto a child, the CPSC advises consumers to stop using any recalled dresser that is not anchored to the wall immediately and to place it in an area that children cannot access until it is returned.
