TARGET RECALLING DRESSERS THAT CAN TIP OVER
Target says it is recalling 180,000 dressers because they can tip over and pose a risk to children. The Minneapolis retailer said today (Wednesday, September 13, 2017) that it has received 12 reports of its Room Essentials four-drawer dressers falling over or collapsing. Two 3-year-old children were struck by a dresser, but no injuries have been reported. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission says customers should stop using the dresser immediately and return it to any Target store for a full refund. About 175,000 of the dressers were sold in the U.S., and 3,000 were sold in Canada. The dressers, which were sold at Target Corporation stores and Target.com between January 2013 and April 2016, came in three colors: black, espresso and maple.
