WASHINGTON - Millions of plastic tip-over restraint kits manufactured by New Age Industries are being recalled. The plastic furniture restraints can become brittle or break, allowing the furniture to detach from the wall and a possible tip-over and/or entrapment hazard to result from the weight of child climbing or playing on the furniture; serious injury or death can occur.

The voluntary recall is coordinated by Alliance4Safety and 31 furniture companies/brands in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. It impacts clothing storage furniture from any of the participating companies, purchased since November 2019, which may have come with the recalled plastic tip restraints. The affected products were sold in furniture stores nationwide and online from November 2019 through present.

Companies and brands participating in the recall include: American Drew, American Woodcrafters, Amini Innovation Corp. (AICO), Ashley Furniture Industries LLC, Aspenhome, Austin Group Furniture LLC, Avalon International Inc. LLC, Bassett Furniture Industries Inc., Drew & Jonathan by Hooker Furnishings, Emery Park, FD Home Corp., Flexsteel Industries Inc., Furniture Values International LLC, Homelegance USA LLC, Hooker Furnishings, Kincaid Furniture, LC Direct Furniture, Legacy Classic/Modern Furniture, Liberty Furniture Industries Inc., Magnussen Home Furnishings Inc., New Classic Home Furnishings Inc., Parker House Furniture, Progressive Furniture, Pulaski Furniture, Riverside Furniture, Samuel Lawrence Furniture, Springhill Designs, Standard Furniture Manufacturing Co. LLC, Universal Furniture, Van Thiel & Co., and Vanguard Furniture Co.

Manufactured by Vietnam-based New Age Industries, the restraint kits include a plastic zip tie, two brackets and two screws. To date, furniture companies have received two reports of the New Age tip kits breaking. No injuries have been reported, CPSC noted.

Consumers are urged to immediately check if their clothing storage unit and restraint fall under the recall parameters. If so, contact Alliance4Safety toll-free at 855-416-7370 or online at alliance4safety.org/new-age-recall or alliance4safety.org and click on “New Age Recall Information.”
