The hazard
If a young child climbs up open dresser drawers, the dresser can tip over and pose the risk of entrapment.
Incidents reported: CPSC and the Company have received a report of a two-year-old boy from Barrington, Ill. who reportedly suffocated when he climbed on or up an open lower drawer into the second dresser drawer, causing the dresser to fall and entrap him between the unit and the floor.
