School Specialty Plastic Tip Restraint Kits

School Specialty, LLC, of Greenville, Wisconsin, is recalling about 15,616 plastic tip restraint kits, also referred to as furniture straps, that were included with Childcraft furniture. The recalled kits 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. No incidents have been reported. The kits were made in China.

The furniture, which included two plastic tip restraint kits in the box along with installation instructions, sold through School Specialty stores nationwide and online at schoolspecialty.com from July 2024 through December 2025 for between $1,250 and $4,800. A label on the bottom of the furniture lists the item number. 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 the recalled plastic tip restraints immediately and contact School Specialty for a free replacement tip restraint kit made of stainless steel.

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

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.
