New Age Industries Furniture Tip Over Kit Injury & Wrongful Death Lawsuit Lawyers

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled millions of furniture anchoring kits made by New Age Industries due to a risk to children. These kits, used to secure furniture to walls, have plastic zip ties that can become brittle and break, posing an entrapment hazard. No injuries have been reported, but consumers are advised to check their kits and contact Alliance4Safety.org for replacements. Legal options are available for those affected, and Parker Waichman LLP offers free consultations for potential lawsuits.

In a significant safety alert, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced the recall of a substantial number of furniture anchoring kits distributed nationwide since 2019, due to a substantial risk they pose to children. The recall involves millions of tip restraint kits manufactured by New Age Industries. These kits, integral in anchoring various clothing storage units to walls, are under scrutiny because of their plastic zip ties. These ties have been found to be susceptible to becoming brittle and breaking. If the zip ties fail, the anchored furniture could detach from the wall, leading to a potential entrapment hazard that could cause severe injury or even fatality to children.

Although there have been two reported instances of these tip kits breaking, thankfully, no injuries have been associated with them as of the most recent update on January 13. The CPSC has identified a broad range of furniture brands and companies that distributed or sold the affected kits. These companies include well-known names in the furniture industry, each having potentially provided these kits with their clothing storage units. The kits, produced in Vietnam, typically consist of a plastic zip-tie, two metal brackets, and screws. Consumers can identify the recalled products by the manufacturing date, which should be November 2019 or later, and is usually found on a sticker or stamped directly on the storage unit. The packaging of these kits is also distinctive, being white with black lettering and including installation instructions.

In response to this recall, the CPSC has advised consumers who have purchased furniture since 2019 to check their clothing storage units for the manufacturing date. If the date corresponds to November 2019 or later and the kit is made of plastic, they are urged to contact Alliance4Safety.org for a free replacement kit. Meanwhile, it is advised to keep children away from these units until a replacement kit is secured and installed.

For those who might have suffered harm or are at risk due to this product defect, legal options are available. Victims can pursue a product liability lawsuit to seek damages for any injuries or harm caused by these defective furniture anchoring kits. This type of lawsuit typically involves proving that the product was inherently dangerous or had a design flaw that led to injury. The process of filing such a lawsuit can be complex, involving evidence collection, establishing negligence, and demonstrating the extent of damages incurred.
