- Ikea Offering Repairs Kits for Deadly Drawers & Chests
Ikea is providing free anchors for its Malm drawers and chests after two children were killed when the furniture pieces fell on top of them.
The furniture pieces are approximately 23 to 29.5 inches tall, which leaves toddlers and babies in danger should the drawers be pulled out accidently or tip over. This is not a recall, however, Ikea is providing consumers with the fixes to ensure not one more person is injured or killed.
Have you or someone you love been hurt as a result of a product defect? The experienced product liability attorneys at Phillips Law Group can examine the details of your claim to determine if you are eligible for financial compensation.

According to Ikea, 27 million people purchased these drawers and chests. In conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the retailers decided to offer a free kit that includes replacement tip-over restraints, wall-anchoring hardware, and instructions on properly securing the furniture.
In both cases where children were fatally injured, the drawers were not secured to the wall. In February 2014, a two-year-old boy died after the chest drawer in his home tipped over and pinned him between drawers and bed. In another case, just months later, a 23-month-old died after the chest drawers tipped over onto the child.
Ikea and the CPSC have received 14 reports of Malm drawers tipping over, at least four injuries have also been reported. Furthermore, since 1989, Ikea knows of three deaths that were attributed to tip-overs of other models of Ikea chests and drawers.
The CPSC and Ikea are urging consumers to securely anchor these pieces to the wall as soon as possible.

Great experience! Took care of pretty much everything, and I always felt like I want in good hands. Caroline Fa. was also a great help with everything. She always returned my calls and I never felt unheard. Even after my case she would still help me with my insurance documents.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

I want to thank attorneys Tim and Robert and the paralegal Bethany for all they had done on my case. They were all empathetic, knowledgeable and professional. All my questions were answered, emails returned in a timely matter, and promises fulfilled. I recommend Phillips Law Group if you need help with your injury case.

All in all I’m so fortunate to be here and I enjoy what I do.
