Ikea Recall: 27 Million Chests, Drawers Recalled After Death Of Two Children

Ikea is recalling 27 million chests and dressers due to a tip-over hazard that resulted in the death of two children because the units were not attached to the wall, the retailer and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on Wednesday, according to USA Today.

Two children were killed after furniture from Ikea's MALM product line fell on them last year. A 2-year-old toddler from West Chester, Pa. died "after a Malm 6-drawer chest tipped over and pinned him against the bed," and another infant was trapped and killed by a 3-drawer Malm chest, according to a press release from the CPSC.
