Bookcase is recalled after child dies in tip-over incident [Video]

Dania Furniture is recalling a bookcase sold online and at its stores nationwide after an unanchored unit tipped over, killing a four-year-old child, the Boise, Idaho, company and the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.

Dania Furniture said it had received the report of the child’s death in August 2023. A law mandating safety measures designed to prevent such tragedies took effect the following month. 

Made in Italy, about 940 of the recalled bookcases were sold from November 2017 through February 2024 for about $370, the recall notice stated. 

The recalled product contains six storage cubbies and is made of brown wood with three sliding white doors. The bookcase is 35.5 inches wide, 16 inches deep and 73 inches tall. A label on the back has the SKU number LB2225/A.

Households with the product should stop using it …
