Results: Daily Debate: Who is the blame for chest fatally injuring two boys, Ikea or parents?

After IKEA chests tipped over and fatally injured two boys, safety regulators say consumers should stop using IKEA’s dressers and chests for children unless the products are mounted to a wall. The Swedish furniture giant is offering a free kit to help consumers do that. The kit will be available to consumers who bought 27 million chests and dressers above specific heights, including 7 million of IKEA’s Malm chests.

IKEA and the CPSC say two boys, both around two years old, were killed in 2014 after Malm chests that had not been secured to walls tipped over and fell on them. The agency and IKEA say they have received 14 reports of Malm chests tipping over, resulting in four injuries. IKEA is aware of three other deaths were reported from other models of chests and drawers that tipped over. Those deaths were described as happening since 1989.
