Nelson and Lauki dressers and cabinets are being recalled by Herman Miller due to tip-over and entrapment hazards

Herman Miller is recalling about 2,700 Nelson and Lauki dressers and cabinets in the United States and about 120 in Canada.

The recalled dressers and cabinets are unstable and can tip over if not anchored to the wall, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in death or injuries to children. The chests don’t comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard ASTM F2057-19.

Herman Miller has received one report of a tip-over with no injuries or property damage. No other incidents have been reported.

This recall involves Herman Miller Nelson cabinets and dressers and Design Within Reach Lauki cabinets and dressers. Product numbers can be found on a label located inside an upper drawer. The Nelson cabinets are wood veneer and have two doors or three, four, five, or eight drawers. They were sold in oak, walnut, ash, and santos palisander, a brown. The Lauki dressers are wood veneer or lacquered MDF and have three or six drawers. They were sold in the following colors: oak, walnut, white, graphite, and glacier green.
