What's being recalled
Aderes bookcases
Units: About 73
This recall involves all Aderes bookcases. The bell-shaped bookcases have a natural finish, measure 44" x 18" x 86" and have two glass cabinet doors and six drawers. The bookcase sits on top of four legs that are affixed to two boards that are screwed into the bottom of the bookcase with eight screws on each side. The bookcases were sold with a furniture tip restraint kit. The bookcase was sold as a display cabinet and one of the following style numbers is printed on a hangtag attached to the product: 081774, 098627, and 094831.
The problem, in CPSC's words
The recalled bookcases are unstable and can tip over if not anchored to the wall, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children.
Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC
TJX has received two reports of bookcases that were unstable and began to tip forward. No injuries have been reported.
What CPSC says to do
Refund
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bookcases and contact TJX for either a full refund or a refund in the form of store gift card and for instructions on how to receive a free pick-up of the bookcase. TJX is contacting known purchasers directly.
