Alanca 6-Drawer Dressers Recalled Over Tip-Over, Entrapment Risk 2026

About 261 Alanca-branded 6-drawer wood dressers are being recalled after federal regulators found the furniture fails to meet mandatory federal stability requirements, creating a serious tip-over and entrapment danger for young children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on September 3, 2026, working with retailer Nanjing Wu Hai Smart Home Appliance Store of China.

The dressers pose a hazard because they can become unstable and topple over if not properly anchored to a wall. This kind of instability has been linked nationally to child deaths and injuries when heavy furniture falls onto a child who climbs on drawers or attempts to reach items placed on top. The units also violate the STURDY Act, the mandatory federal safety standard specifically created to address tip-over dangers in clothing storage furniture.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers Alanca 6-Drawer Wood Dressers, sold in brown and white finishes. Each dresser has six drawers and measures approximately 15.75 inches wide, 57 inches long and 31.5 inches tall, weighing about 55 pounds. The model markings ‘WH-DS02-6W’ or ‘WH-DS02-6GE’ are printed on the product packaging, which consumers can use to confirm whether they own an affected unit.

The dressers were sold exclusively online at Wayfair.com from April 2025 through June 2026, with prices ranging between $206 and $240. The item was manufactured in China.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

Federal law requires clothing storage units sold in the United States to meet strict stability standards under the STURDY Act, which was enacted specifically to reduce the risk of furniture tip-over incidents involving children. According to the CPSC, the Alanca dressers do not meet those mandatory requirements when left unanchored, leaving them vulnerable to tipping if a child climbs, pulls open multiple drawers, or leans against the unit.

No injuries or incidents have been reported in connection with these dressers to date. Regulators note, however, that unanchored furniture failing to meet the standard still carries a meaningful risk of serious injury or death, particularly to young children in households where the dressers are present.

Who Is Affected?

Consumers who purchased an Alanca 6-Drawer Wood Dresser through Wayfair.com between April 2025 and June 2026 may own one of the roughly 261 recalled units. Because the dressers were sold online nationally rather than through a specific regional retailer, the recall’s reach spans households across the country, especially those with young children where furniture may not currently be secured to a wall.

What Should You Do?

Consumers should stop using the recalled dressers immediately if the furniture is not anchored to a wall, and should place it somewhere children cannot access it. Owners should then contact Nanjing Wu Hai Smart Home to arrange a full refund.

As part of the recall process, consumers will be asked to write ‘RECALLED’ in permanent marker on the top, front and sides of the dresser, remove all of the drawers, and photograph the marked and disassembled unit. Those photos must be emailed to Nanjingdresserrecall@NanjingWuhai.com to complete the refund process.

Official Statement

The CPSC describes the hazard plainly in its recall notice, stating that the dressers are ‘unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in risks of serious injuries or death to children,’ and confirms that the product ‘violate[s] the mandatory safety standards’ set under the STURDY Act.

The agency reminds the public that federal law prohibits the sale of any product subject to a Commission-ordered or voluntary recall. Consumers with questions can reach Nanjing Wu Hai Smart Home directly by email, or contact CPSC’s consumer hotline at 800-638-2772 for further guidance.
