More than 250,000 plastic tip restraint kits from 4our Kiddies have been recalled due to a tip-over hazard, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. There have been at least 150 incidents where consumers reported that the defective plastic tip restraint kits broke, including three reported tip-over incidents.
Testing by the CPSC revealed that the recalled plastic tip restraints failed to meet the requirements of the industry standard for tip restraints.
The furniture straps were manufactured in China and imported by Shenzhen City Donglin E-Commerce Co., Ltd d/b/a 4our Kiddies, of China. The units were sold by Amazon.com from June 2019 through January 2026 for between $6 and $21.
According to the agency, the 4our Kiddies Plastic Tip Restraint Kits can break or degrade, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in serious injuries or death to children or elderly consumers interacting with furniture that is secured to the wall with the defective plastic tip restraints. This is a hidden defect because consumers who purchase and install this product may be under a false sense of security that their furniture is safe from a tip-over incident.
Consumers should stop using 4our Kiddies plastic tip restraints immediately and contact 4our Kiddies by email for a free replacement tip restraint kit made of stainless steel. Consumers should keep children away from the unit while waiting for a replacement tip restraint kit and should dispose of the recalled tip restraint in their household trash once they have installed the replacement tip restraint.
