Timechee changing table: a dresser that tips with a child on top

What happened
Timechee recalled about 10,354 changing table dressers (KF200066US-01XN-003) on June 12, 2026 — unanchored, the 160-pound dresser can tip over onto a child, violating the STURDY Act's mandatory stability standard.
The units sold on Amazon for about $190 from September 2023 through May 2026. Owners keep children away, contact Timechee and receive a full refund after emailing a disposal photo.
A changing table is the one piece of furniture a baby is left on alone — tip stability is the entire job.
Why it happened
- Tips unanchored, violating the STURDY Act — 10,354 units at ~$190; Amazon Sep 2023-May 2026; refund after disposal photo
- The changing top puts the child at the dresser's highest point — the tip-over lever is the product's own design
- 160 pounds of dresser against 20 pounds of child — the physics was never close
The lesson
The STURDY Act exists because a dresser is a lever with drawers. A changing table that fails it puts that lever above the one person least able to dodge it — the standard is the floor.
