WLIVE Recalls 76,500 Fabric Dressers Sold on Amazon for Deadly Tip-Over Hazard

Parents beware: WLIVE has issued a recall of about 76,500 fabric 12-drawer dressers after finding the furniture violates the mandatory safety standard for clothing storage units. The recalled dressers pose a serious tip-over and entrapment risk that can lead to injury or death—especially to young children.

The recall, announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on October 16, 2025, underscores the ongoing problem of unstable furniture being sold through online marketplaces like Amazon, often without the proper safety certifications required under U.S. law.

What’s Being Recalled

The recall involves WLIVE Fabric 12-Drawer Dressers sold in several finishes, including charcoal black, black rustic brown, dark grey, light grey, white, and rustic brown wood grain print. Each dresser measures roughly 39 inches tall, 48 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, with a metal frame, wooden top, and 12 collapsible fabric drawers.

The dressers were sold on Amazon between September 2023 and August 2025 for around $83 each. The packaging is marked with model number ASNG092.

According to the CPSC, these units fail to meet the safety requirements of the STURDY Act, which mandates that clothing storage furniture must remain stable under testing conditions designed to simulate real-world tip-over risks—such as a child climbing or pulling on drawers.

The Hazard: Tip-Over and Entrapment

The CPSC warns that the dressers are unstable if not anchored to the wall, creating the risk of a catastrophic tip-over incident. Tip-over injuries have been a leading cause of serious and fatal accidents involving young children for decades.

Although WLIVE has received one report of a tip-over, no injuries have been reported so far. However, the potential for harm is significant—as furniture instability can result in head trauma, suffocation, or crushing injuries when children are trapped beneath falling dressers.

This recall reflects the continuing urgency of child furniture safety and the need for strict enforcement of federal standards like the STURDY Act, which took effect in 2023.

Remedy and Consumer Instructions

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled dressers, especially if they are not anchored to the wall, and move them to an area where children cannot access them.

To receive a full refund, consumers must:

1. Dispose of the dresser according to WLIVE’s instructions.

2. Submit a photo showing proof of disposal to wliveproductrecall@wlivehome.com.

WLIVE will issue a full refund upon confirmation.

A Pattern of Unsafe Furniture Sold on Amazon

This recall is part of a larger, troubling pattern of unsafe furniture and children’s products being sold through Amazon’s marketplace, often by overseas manufacturers with limited regulatory oversight.

KBD Attorneys has reported on several recalls involving Amazon-exclusive products that violated U.S. safety standards—including baby loungers, magnetic toys, and cribs linked to suffocation or ingestion hazards.

These incidents highlight a critical gap in consumer safety enforcement: many Amazon listings come from third-party sellers operating outside the United States, making recalls and accountability more complex.

At Ketterer, Browne & Davani (KBD Attorneys), we’ve consistently warned that Amazon’s product ecosystem can expose families to dangerous, untested, or poorly designed items—from dressers that tip over to toys containing powerful magnets.

When these hazards lead to serious injury, manufacturers—and sometimes online platforms—can be held accountable through product liability lawsuits.

Why Tip-Over Hazards Are So Deadly

Furniture tip-over incidents have killed hundreds of children in the U.S. over the past two decades. Even lightweight dressers can crush a small child’s chest or neck in a matter of seconds.

That’s why the STURDY Act (Stop Tip-Overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth Act) requires that dressers pass rigorous stability testing before being sold. Products that fail these standards, like WLIVE’s recalled dressers, are considered illegal to sell under federal law.

Yet despite this, dangerous designs still make it into homes—especially through online retail platforms where oversight is weaker and product listings can reappear under new brand names.
