Ikea Canada has had to reissue a warning for a third time after it was reported that a child was killed by a toppled dresser made by the Swedish furniture company. The dresser that fell over is the MALM dresser shown above. The boy, a 22 month old toddler, was found crushed under the dresser when his mother went into the bedroom to check up on him.
Ikea claims that the chest was not anchored to the wall properly as it should have been; instead, it was free standing making it easy for the child to topple it over. This isn’t the first time this happened: it occurred twice last summer when the dresser fell on two other young children.
For those who have the MALM dresser please make sure that it is properly anchored to the wall. If it isn’t, go to your local Ikea as the company is offering replacement anchoring kits.
