Hi Everyone! We wanted to share two important recalls this week that could help your families:
Ikea has recalled MALM dressers and drawers after the deaths of six children. Six models of MALM dressers and chests have all been recalled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said that the items could topple over if not anchored securely to walls.
Every two weeks, a child in the United States dies from tipped over furniture or televisions- a sobering fact.
CPSC Chairman Elliott Kaye said “It is simply too dangerous to have the recalled furniture in your home unanchored, especially if you have young children.”
For the recall, IKEA is offering customers a refund, or a free wall-anchoring kit.
To participate in the recall or for additional information, please email secureit@ikea.com or call (866) 856-4532 from 9 a.m. to 12 midnight ET. If you have trouble getting through via the phone, please email them.
