Sales of more than 20 domestic and foreign brands of dressers and chests will be halted due to safety concerns, the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards said Friday.

The agency previously advised the manufacturers of the furniture to recall the items based on the results of safety checks in late August.

The sales ban includes 15 dressers made by IKEA and 12 by six major domestic brands including Borneo, Iloom and Wooami.
