The plastic strap used to restrain units to the wall may break, allowing the furniture to tip. Injuries caused by falling furniture can range from bruising and broken bones to head injuries and even death if a child is pinned under a heavy unit.
While there have been no incidents in Canada, a falling unit was reported in the US. No injuries were sustained.
Customers are advised to remove the recalled product immediately and contact Pali Design for a free retrofit kit. The kit contains improved restraint straps, relevant hardware and installation instructions.
For further information, customers may contact Pali Design toll free at (866) 840-4140 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, via email or via Pali's website.
From January 2007 to September 2010, approximately 2,160 items were sold in Canada, and 18,000 in the United States.
