Ikea agrees to pay $46M to parents of a child who died after a recalled dresser tipped onto him, company and lawyers for the child's family say.
In a lawsuit filed last year in Philadelphia, Jozef's family argued that Ikea knew the dressers posed a tip-over hazard but failed to tell customers that they shouldn't be used without being anchored to a wall."We remain committed to working proactively and collaboratively to address this very important home safety issue," the spokeswoman said.
From 2000 to 2017, emergency rooms across the United States reported more than 28,000 tip-over-related injuries and 542 deaths, according to a 2018 report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. More than 80 percent of those deaths involved kids younger than 14. Most involved TVs, although the agency attributed 110 deaths to chests, bureaus or dressers.
