A federal recall announced Oct. 29 covers about 32,791 Jocoevol six-drawer dressers sold on Amazon.com, and buyers can get a full refund of the roughly $160 they paid. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says the dressers can tip over because they are unstable if they are not anchored to the wall, a risk of serious injury or death to children.
The recall covers a single model, C-0633, sold in black, pink, brown and white from December 2024 through July 2026. The model number is printed on a label inside the top left drawer. Anyone who bought a dresser for a guest room, a spare bedroom or a grandchild’s visits in that window should open that drawer first, because the answer decides whether a refund is on the table.

Why is a dresser nobody has been hurt on being pulled?
CPSC’s notice says no injuries have been reported. The recall rests on a rule violation instead: the agency says the dressers violate the mandatory federal standard for clothing storage units, the safety rule Congress ordered under the STURDY Act. The commission’s clothing storage unit FAQ points manufacturers to that rule, codified at 16 CFR part 1261.
That matters for how the dresser should be treated now. A unit that fails the standard has not necessarily fallen on anyone yet. The notice treats an unanchored dresser as a hazard on its own, which is why the first instruction is to stop using it if it is not fastened to a wall.
What does the notice tell owners to do, step by step?
CPSC lists six steps, in this order:
- If the dresser is not anchored to the wall, stop using it immediately
- Move it to an area children cannot get into
- Contact Yinklev for the refund
- Write “RECALLED” on the dresser in permanent marker
- Email a photo of the marked dresser to Jocoevoldresserrecall@outlook.com
- Dispose of the dresser
The marker and the photo are part of the claim, so the dresser should not go to the curb before the picture is taken. Keeping it in a locked room or garage in the meantime follows the notice’s second step.
The dresser is made of engineered wood, stands 32.3 inches tall, measures 47.2 inches wide and 15.3 inches deep, and weighs 97 pounds. Each unit has six drawers, and CPSC names two hazards, tip-over and entrapment, either of which it says can seriously injure or kill a child. The color and the label are what separate this dresser from the many other six-drawer units sold online, so the model number is the detail to confirm before emailing anyone. Buyers who cannot find the label should still keep the order record from Amazon.com showing the seller and the date
Who is Yinklev, and how do buyers reach it?
The recalling company is Shenzhen City Yiping Technology Co., Ltd., which does business as Yinklev and is based in China. The dressers were made in China and Vietnam. The notice gives one way to reach the firm, the email address Jocoevoldresserrecall@outlook.com, with no phone number and no website listed.
Buyers who would rather talk to a person at the government end can call CPSC’s hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270), staffed from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Eastern. The recall record in the agency’s SaferProducts recall feed carries the same Oct. 29 date, the same count of about 32,791 and the same full-refund remedy.
Is a $160 refund worth chasing from an overseas seller?
For one dresser, the refund is about $160 back, and for a household that bought several for a grandchild’s rooms the figure multiplies. The catch is that the whole process runs by email with a company overseas, and the notice sets no deadline and promises no timeline. The refund amount is the full price, as CPSC describes the remedy, not a partial credit.
A realistic plan is to send the photo email within the week, save the sent message, and note the date. If no reply comes, the CPSC hotline is the agency’s own channel for questions about a recall. Anyone whose dresser was never anchored should also deal with the safety problem first and the money second.
Where else is a purchase like this leaking money at home?
A $160 dresser that has to be refunded by email is a small example of a bigger pattern: money spent on the house that comes back slowly or not at all. Property-tax breaks and equity decisions often involve far larger sums than one recalled piece of furniture.
The Keep-It Starter Bundle is nine guides in one download, including Step 4, Cut Your House Costs, which covers how to cut the house costs through every senior property-tax break and your equity options. It turns a one-off refund chase into a short list of home-cost moves to work through.
