How to check if your IKEA dresser is one of millions being recalled after toddler deaths

IKEA have announced a mass recall of 29 million dressers on Tuesday, 28 June after a number of toddlers have reportedly died being crushed by the tipping furniture. A spokesman for IKEA said that the recall only affects the store in the United States and Canada and dressers would not be recalled in the UK and Ireland.

"IKEA chests of drawers are safe when anchored to the wall per the assembly instruction, using the tip over restraint provided with the product," said a spokesperson, "accidents related to furniture tipping over is a serious home safety issue for the entire home furnishing industry and IKEA is committed to take the lead in addressing this challenge."

ABC in the US reported that at least six children have been crushed by the IKEA chests falling on them, with 36 others being injured. The most recent death was in February while others date as far back as 1989, all the children were under the age of four.

Worried customers in the UK are told that they are welcome to contact the company on 0203 645 0010 to request a free replacement restraint kit. IKEA have previously offered wall attachment kits to people who did not use the one originally provided.

IKEA said in a statement to ABC: "It is clear that there are still unsecured products in customers' homes, and we believe that taking further action is the right thing to do."

The affected dressers come from IKEA's MALM range and a number of others. "The recall affects children's chests and dressers taller than 23.5 inches and adult chests and dressers taller than 29.5 inches that do not meet the performance requirements of the U.S. voluntary industry standard" said the company.

The company also told customers to "immediately stop using any recalled chest or dresser that is not properly anchored to the wall and place in an area not accessible to children".

Along with the MALM three, four, five and six drawer dressers, a number of other products are affected by the recall and are eligible for either a free wall-anchoring repair kit or a full or partial refund. Those in North America who want to participate in the recall are asked to call (866) 856-4532 from 9 a.m. to 12 midnight ET.
