We have three of these and we didn't use the wall anchor.

More like, it will just rip out of the wall. We haven't used the anchor. My son did tip the dresser over once too, but now he knows not to open ALL of the drawers all the way. He didn't get hurt, just scared.
If you secure cabinets and dressers using something like a couple of 75 lb drywall anchors, it shouldn't rip out at all.

Like these:

If you're super paranoid, you could get some zinc-plated 100+ lb ones.
