Recall Details

Units Affected:

About 55,170

Description:

This recall involves defective plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) manufactured by Cranach Hardware.

Each recalled kit contains:

  • Two white plastic brackets/mounts (one for furniture, one for the wall)
  • One white plastic cable zip tie
  • Two different pairs of screws (one longer than the other)
  • Two drywall anchors

The plastic components in the brackets/mounts and cable tie can break or degrade over time, which could lead to furniture tipping over if a consumer interacts with furniture that was secured by the recalled product.

CPSC testing revealed that these plastic tip restraints failed to meet ASTM F3096-23, the industry standard for tip restraints.

Young children or elderly adults could be severely injured if interacting with furniture secured to the wall with these defective plastic tip restraints.
