Published by Reclia Safety Desk | July 22, 2026

Here is the factual recall information record based solely on the provided source data.

Recall Summary
On October 23, 2025, Cranach Hardware, of China, announced a recall of its plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps). The recall was initiated because the plastic in the brackets/mounts and the cable zip tie can break or degrade over time. This failure could lead to furniture tipping over if a consumer interacts with furniture that was secured by the recalled product. CPSC testing revealed that the recalled plastic tip restraints failed to meet the requirements of ASTM F3096-23, the industry standard for tip restraints. The recall number is 26038.

Affected Products
The recalled product is the Cranach Hardware Plastic Tip Restraint Kit. The kit contains two white plastic brackets/mounts (one for connection to furniture and the other for connection to the wall), a white plastic cable zip tie, two different pairs of screws (one longer than the other), and two drywall anchors. The model number and type are not specified in the recall notice. Approximately 55,170 units are affected. The products were sold exclusively on Amazon, beginning in September 2019, for a price between $6 and $30, depending on the number of units in the package.

Hazard Information
The recalled 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. CPSC is aware of at least 115 incidents where consumers reported that the defective plastic tip restraint kits broke, including six reported tip-over incidents. No injuries have been reported.

Consumer Action Required
