Ikea Recalls 29 Million Dressers After 6 Kids Killed

Six children have been killed and three dozen others injured, and federal safety officials on Tuesday urged consumers to take immediate action. The Swedish retailer announced the recall Tuesday, saying the furniture can pose "a tip-over and entrapment hazard that can result in death or injuries to children" if it is not properly anchored to a wall. Kaye said consumers "need to either get their anchor kit from Ikea for free and install it on their furniture, take it back to the store for a full refund or have Ikea come and pick it up from their homes for free." Last year, the company offered free wall-mounting kits to owners of its Malm chests and dressers after reports of children's deaths.
