1. Recall Summary
School Specialty, LLC, of Greenville, Wisconsin, is recalling plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) that were included in Childcraft furniture. The recall was initiated on June 11, 2026. The recall involves defective plastic tip restraint kits that were packaged with Childcraft furniture sold by School Specialty. The furniture included two plastic tip restraint kits in the box along with the product, with installation instructions. A label on the bottom of the furniture contains the item number. The recalled tip restraint kits contain 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 Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has educational materials available to the public on its Anchor It! website, including instructions for properly anchoring furniture to prevent tip-overs.

2. Affected Products
The recalled products are plastic tip restraint kits included in Childcraft furniture. The furniture that included the defective tip restraint kits is listed with specific item numbers on a label on the bottom of the furniture. The number of units affected is approximately 15,616. The furniture was sold through School Specialty stores nationwide and online at www.schoolspecialty.com from July 2024 through December 2025 for between $1,250 and $4,800. The tip restraint kits were manufactured in China.

3. Hazard Information
The recalled plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) can break or degrade, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards. Should the defective plastic tip restraints break, consumers could be at risk of serious injuries or death. The recall notice states 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. As of the date of the recall notice, no injuries have been reported.

4. Consumer Action Required
Consumers should stop using the recalled plastic tip restraints immediately. Consumers should keep children away from any furniture secured using the recalled plastic tip restraints while waiting for a replacement tip restraint kit. Consumers should dispose of the recalled tip restraint in their household trash once they have installed the replacement tip restraint.

5. Official Remedy
Consumers should contact School Specialty for a free replacement tip restraint kit made of stainless steel. School Specialty is contacting all consumers who purchased Childcraft furniture directly and mailing two replacement tip restraint kits to those consumers along with that notice.

6. Contact Information
Consumers may contact School Specialty toll-free at 866-588-6951 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday. Consumers may also email the company at compliance@schoolspecialty.com.
