Target Corp., of Minneapolis, Minn., is recalling about 178,000 Room Essentials 4-drawer dressers sold in the U.S. and Canada.
The dressers are unstable if not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children.
The firm has received 12 reports of dressers tipping or collapsing, including tipping over on two three-year-old children. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Room Essentials 4-drawer dressers sold in three colors. The dressers measure 41 7/8 inches tall by 31 inches wide by 15 11/16 inches deep.
Model number 249-05-0103 (black), 249-05-0106 (espresso), or 249-05-0109 (maple) is printed on the products packaging.
The dressers, manufactured in Denmark, were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com from January 2013, through April 2016, for about $118.
