    The product, in the report: 5 White Drawer Chest, Donco Brand

    My two year old son was putting his clothes in his drawer when our extremely heavy chest came falling down on top of him, causing injury (including bleeding). My husband, who is a paramedic, ran into the room where we were and took necessary care of his injury. Thankfully it was not as severe as it could have been but my husband said it could have killed him, broken his neck, or another body part. My son was not climbing in the drawers at the time of the incident nor was he at all touching the top drawer (which he is unable to reach anyway). He was only helping me put clothes in his drawers as I handed it to him. The back of the drawers, which appears to me to be made out of a cardboard-like substance, detached from the back of these drawers at the time of the incident. I immediately checked into which brand this product was and assumed it must be a recalled product to tip over this easily. I was shocked to learn that it is not recalled. I would like to insist that this product should most definitely be on the recall list immediately before it severely injures or kills a child. This product is a White Donco 5 Drawer Chest that I purchased for $350.90.
