TAMPA, Fla. — Hodedah is recalling thousands of its HI4DR 4-drawer chests because they pose a tip-over and entrapment hazard for children.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports the chests do not comply with the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard.

If the chests are not anchored to a wall, they could tip-over and entrap a children, resulting in serious injuries or death.
