PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y. – Furniture, rugs and accessories resource Safavieh has recalled 760 of its Aura and Silas three-drawer chests due to a tip-over and entrapment hazard.
While no injuries or incidents have been reported, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the units are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall. This can result in death or injuries, particularly to small children.
The CPSC is advising consumers to immediately stop using any of the recalled chests that are not properly anchored to the wall and place them in an area that children cannot access.
The recall involves the Aura and Silas three-drawer chests with light gray drawers and a light gray linen finish (model number CHS6410B); champagne drawers and mirror finish (model number CHS6403A); and steel teal drawers with mirror finish (model number CHS6403C). Each unit is about 32 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 29 inches tall.
The units were made in Vietnam and imported by Safavieh Intl. of Port Washington, N.Y. They were sold online at www.wayfair.com, www.overstock.com and www.gilt.com and other online retailers from November 2017 to November 2019 for between $240 and $360.
Safavieh will provide packaging and pre-paid shipping labels so that consumers can remove the chests’ drawer slides and return them to the company for a full refund of the unit.
For more information, consumers can contact Safavieh toll-free at (866) 422-9070 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or via email at cs@safavieh.com. Information is also available at www.safavieh.com under the Safety Notice tab at the top of the home page.
The company was not immediately available for comment.
