TODDLER CRUSHED BY DIFFERENT IKEA DRESSES
A Californian toddler died in May 2017 when an IKEA chest of drawers fell on him, causing him to suffocate. The dresser was one of the IKEA Malm series, and it was not the first time that the style of the dresser had changed.
In 2016, Ikeapaid $ 50 millionto the families of three other children who had been killed by Malm dressers and agreed to redesign the product to higher safety standards.
TIPPING HAZARDS
"Furniture overturns can happen whenever something big and heavy becomes unbalanced," says AnchorIt.gov, the CPSC website dedicated to teaching parents and guardians about the importance of properly anchoring furniture. "When children are young and active, they tend to look for new places to explore. This sometimes includes climbing chests or book shelves, or looking for things in high places that tip furniture . "
About every 43 minutes, a child in the United States is injured in a television or furniture spill, according to the CPSC. Rollover accidents have killed 459 children in the United States since 2000.
