Over 250,000 4our Kiddies Plastic Tip Restraint Kits were recalled after reports they may degrade or break, the CPSC reported. (CPSC)

The Brief

    • The recall covers 253,000 of the plastic tip restraint kits that were sold over a seven-year period.
    • The CPSC indicated the kits may break, which could result in furniture tipping over.
    • The kits cost between $6 and $21 and were sold on Amazon between June 2019 and January 2026.

Over a quarter-million plastic tip restraint kits were recalled over fears they may break, allowing furniture to tip over and injure children or senior citizens.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Thursday the recall of the 4our Kiddies Plastic Tip Restraint Kits because they may give users a false sense of security.

Recall Kit Details

Approximately 253,000 of the kits were sold on Amazon between June 2019 and January of this year, the CPSC notice stated.

The agency explained that the plastic tips may wear out or degrade. That could potentially allow the furniture users believed are connected to the wall to tip over and trap them.

The notice warned people may not be able to tell if the restraints are at risk of snapping.

Why you should care:

The CPSC indicated that at least 150 incidents where the kits broke have been reported to the agency. In three of the incidents, an item tipped over.

Over 250,000 4our Kiddies Plastic Tip Restraint Kits were recalled after reports they may degrade or break, the CPSC reported. (CPSC)

What you can do:

People who purchased the kits are advised to stop using them immediately and return them for a free replacement kit that is made from stainless steel. Once the new kits arrive, the old ones should be thrown out.

While the return is in progress, families are encouraged to keep children away from items that the old kits are attached to.

Dig deeper:

The CPSC explained the kits included two white plastic brackets/mounts, a white plastic cable zip tie, two pairs of screws, and two dry wall anchors. It is the plastic mounts that the agency is concerned may break. 

More information about how to anchor furniture properly is available on the CPSC’s website.
