On February 6, 2026, Shintenchi issued a recall for their 6-Drawer Dressers. According to the recall, number 26-238, the dressers are unstable if they are not properly anchored to the wall, which poses a tip-over and entrapment hazard that could cause serious injury or even death to children. In addition, the product violates mandatory safety standards under the STURDY Act.
The recall affects approximately 600 units of the product. The white dressers have six wooden drawers and golden metal feet. They measure about 15.7 inches deep by 47.2 inches wide by 30.5 inches high. “SHX12077-WH” can be found both embossed on the underside of the dresser at the top of one of the metal feet as well as on the product packaging.
The affected dressers were sold on Amazon.com from July 2025 to August 2025 for approximately $130 each.
According to the recall, no incidents or injuries have been reported.
The company is urging affected consumers to immediately stop using the dressers if they are not anchored to the wall and place them in an area inaccessible to children. Consumers who contact the company will also get instructions on how to dispose of the dressers to get a full refund.
However, it your child was injured due to the recalled dresser, it is important that you do not follow the suggestions of the company to get a refund. Instead, you should explore the legal options available to you. Based on the details surrounding the incident and the resulting harm, you could have the right to file a claim.

Possible Injuries Resulting from the Defective Shintenchi Dressers
As explained above, the recalled dressers represent a tip-over and entrapment hazard, which can result in injuries or death in children. When a dresser tips over, it can entrap a child underneath. When a child essentially becomes pinned under a dresser, the child may suffer compression of the chest or neck, which can lead to asphyxiation. Just a few minutes of a lack of oxygen can result in permanent brain damage. Prolonged entrapment can lead to death.

You may be wondering what to do if your child was injured as a result of the defective drawers. Consider the following recommended steps:
- Seek medical care as soon as possible
- Take photos of the entire scene of the incident
- Take photos of any visible injuries
- Contact the company to report the incident and the harm suffered
- Never agree to return the product
- Never agree to a free replacement or to a free return
- Never agree to any remedy offered by the company
- Reach out to a recall lawyer as soon as possible
