The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that IKEA and the Consumer Products Safety Commission are taking an unusual and perhaps unprecedented step, recalling tens of millions of top-heavy Malm dressers and chests. While IKEA offered repair kits and wall anchors to customers, the message clearly wasn’t getting out that have been sold in the United States.
The Inquirer says that according to a source in the federal government, tomorrow the CPSC and IKEA will announce a full recall of all Malm dressers sold in the United States. The dressers are considered a hazard, having been linked to injuries and even the deaths of three small children.
