Yuyitop recalls 25,073 dressers after one tipped over

Yuyitop, doing business through the importer Maizhe International Trade Co., is recalling about 25,073 Aitjunz-brand eight-drawer dressers after one of them tipped over, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Sept. 24, 2026. No injuries were reported in that incident, but the agency says the dresser’s design violates the mandatory federal stability standard for clothing storage units, which creates a tip-over and entrapment risk for children whether or not a specific unit has failed yet. The dressers sold on Amazon, Wayfair, Temu and Walmart for $230 to $270 between May 2025 and July 2026.

The recall does not describe a mass-injury event. It describes a dresser that failed the physical stability requirements the federal government set for the entire clothing-storage-unit category in 2023, a standard every dresser and chest of drawers 27 inches or taller has had to meet since manufacture after that date. Aitjunz’s dresser was built and sold entirely inside that post-standard window, which is what makes a single tip-over enough to trigger a nationwide recall.

One tip-over, no injuries, and a mandatory-standard violation

CPSC’s notice states that the recalled 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.” The agency has logged one report of a unit tipping over, with no injury attached to it, and no entrapment reports. A single incident was enough because the dresser failed the stability test itself, not because a pattern of harm had built up first.

The standard behind the recall, ASTM F2057-23, has been mandatory for every clothing storage unit 27 inches tall or taller manufactured since September 2023, adopted under the federal STURDY Act. CPSC’s own accounting found 234 tip-over deaths tied to clothing storage furniture between January 2000 and April 2022, 199 of them children, alongside an estimated 5,300 emergency-room injuries a year. The Aitjunz dresser, built after the rule took effect, is the kind of product the standard was written to catch before a child gets hurt.

Sold across four major retailers for over a year

The dressers reached buyers through four of the largest online retailers at once. Amazon, Wayfair, Temu and Walmart all carried the Aitjunz eight-drawer model between May 2025 and July 2026, and the listings stayed up for more than a year before Yuyitop pulled them and filed the recall. The dresser was manufactured in China by Dongguan Meiying Sen Smart Home Co. and imported under the Maizhe International Trade name, a supply chain typical of the low-cost furniture that dominates search results on those platforms.

Consumer Reports’ own testing shows why that timeline matters. In 2024, the group found that all 12 dressers it tested that were manufactured after the September 2023 standard took effect passed its tip-over tests without being anchored, while some pre-standard models it also bought on Amazon and Walmart still failed. Aitjunz’s dresser was made well after that cutoff, which puts it in the group the standard was supposed to have already fixed.

A free retrofit kit, not a refund

Rather than offering refunds or replacements, Aitjunz is asking owners to install a free retrofit kit: two 12.68-kilogram cast-iron counterweight blocks and mounting brackets meant to lower the dresser’s center of gravity. The company’s recall site says the kit is still awaiting compliance testing at a CPSC-approved laboratory before it ships, and asks owners to register in the meantime rather than wait for a public retest date.

Owners can reach Aitjunz at 986-305-9671 on weekdays or by email at [email protected] to register for the kit, which the company says will arrive with illustrated installation instructions once it clears testing. Until then, CPSC’s standard advice applies regardless of brand: anchor the dresser to the wall or stud, and stop using it if a drawer already feels loose or the frame rocks when it’s opened.

A rule three years old, still catching new products

The rule the Aitjunz dresser failed did not appear overnight. The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s final rule, published in May 2023, applies to free-standing units at least 27 inches tall, weighing 30 pounds or more empty, with at least 3.2 cubic feet of storage — a description that covers most dressers sold in the country. Manufacturers had 120 days after publication to bring new production into line.

“Consumers shouldn’t have to jump through hoops to get the information they need to make safe, informed decisions,” Consumer Reports said in its own tip-over testing report, arguing that a mandatory standard only works if every product actually built after it takes effect complies. CPSC has not said how many of the 25,073 recalled Aitjunz dressers have been anchored, retrofitted or pulled from bedrooms since the recall notice went out; for now, the agency’s count stands at one reported tip-over, zero injuries, and a retrofit kit still waiting on its own lab test.
