Ikea Recalls 29 Million Dressers After Child Deaths

Tuesday Ikea issued a voluntary recall of 29 million dressers and chests.

The recall comes following reports that a sixth child has died after an unstable dresser fell and crushed the child, ABC reports. 

The deaths date back to 1989, with the most recent occurring in February 2016. IKEA and the Consumer Product Safety Commision say at least 36 children have been injured by IKEA chests and dresses that tipped over when not properly anchored to a wall.

The furniture involved in the recall are from the Malm line: children's chests and dressers taller than 23.5 inches and adult chests and dressers taller than 29.5 inches.

There is a full list here.

Anyone with the recalled furniture that is not properly anchored to the wall should stop using it immediately and put in an area not accessible to children.

If you own the affected furniture, contact IKEA for a choice between two options: a free wall-anchoring repair kit or a full or partial refund.
