Category

Hazard type
Fall or tip-over

This recall involves defective plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) manufactured by Cranach Hardware. The recalled tip restraint kits contain two white plastic brackets/mounts (one for connection to furniture and the other for connection to the wall), a white plastic cable zip tie, two different pairs of screws (one longer than the other), and two drywall anchors. The plastic in the brackets/mounts and the cable zip tie can break or degrade over time, which could lead to furniture tipping over if a consumer interacts with furniture that was secured by the recalled product. CPSC testing revealed that the recalled plastic tip restraints failed to meet the requirements of ASTM F3096-23, the industry standard for tip restraints. Young children or elderly adults could be severely injured if interacting with furniture that is secured to the wall with these defective plastic tip restraints.

What is the hazard with Cranach Hardware Plastic Tip Restraint Kits?

Cranach Hardware Plastic Tip Restraint Kits (Cranach Hardware, of China) was announced earlier this year, in the "Other" category. The recalled plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) can break or degrade, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in serious injuries or death to children or elderly consumers interacting with furniture that is secured to the wall with the defective plastic tip restraints. This falls under one of the more serious hazard categories (injury, choking or strangulation risk), so the recall covers every unit sold, not only units with a reported incident.

What should you do if you own this product?

Consumers should stop using Cranach Hardware plastic tip restraints immediately and contact Cranach Hardware for a free replacement tip restraint kit made of stainless steel. Keep children away from the unit while waiting for a replacement tip restraint kit. Consumers will need to provide photographic evidence of destruction or disposal of the product to receive a replacement tip restraint kit from Cranach Hardware. Sold at: Amazon, beginning in September 2019, for between $6 and $30 (depending on the number of units in the package).. If you bought it somewhere else, the remedy above still applies — contact the firm directly using the official recall page linked below.

How many units are affected?

About About 55,170 units of Cranach Hardware Plastic Tip Restraint Kits are covered by this recall, according to the official count reported by the firm to the regulator.
