One million dressers sold at Kmart are under recall because they can easily tip over, potentially trapping, injuring or killing children who may try to climb on them. They need to be anchored to the wall.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the recall involves Belmont four-drawer dressers made by Ridgewood Industries of Canada. They were sold at Kmart stores nationwide from April 2013 to November 2018 for about $40.
The dressers have plastic drawer guides. They were sold in two sizes and four colors -- white, black, white pine and brown oak -- each of which has its own model numbers. Those numbers can be found in the instruction manual.
The following is each model number, the dimensions and the color:

In addition to being unstable and a tip-over hazard, the models under recall that are over 30 inches tall do not meet the performance requirements of voluntary industry standards in the U.S., according to CPSC.
No injuries have been reported.
Those who have the recalled dressers and do not have them properly anchored to the wall are urged to put them somewhere that children cannot access them. Ridgewood can send a free anchoring kit and customers can request a free, one-time, in-home installation of the kit.
