  • Brand IKEA Supply AG, of Switzerland

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

IKEA is recalling KULLEN 3-drawer chests because they are unstable when not anchored to the wall, creating tip-over and entrapment hazards that could cause death or serious injuries to children. The recalled chest is approximately 28 3/8 inches tall, weighs about 45 pounds, and comes in black-brown or birch colors. Chests imported after August 12, 2019 also fail to meet updated U.S. safety standards for furniture stability. The affected article numbers are 600-930-58 (birch), 501-637-54 (black-brown), and 803-221-34 (black-brown).

Consumers should immediately stop using the KULLEN 3-drawer chest unless it is properly anchored to the wall and keep it away from children's access. Consumers may contact IKEA to choose between a full refund or a free wall-attachment kit. For a refund, IKEA will accept in-store returns or provide free pickup. For the wall-attachment kit, consumers can order it for free and either install it themselves or request IKEA's one-time free in-home installation service.
