Ikea recalls dressers linked to 3 child deaths

Posted

Furniture giant, Ikea, is recalling millions of its dressers which have been blamed for the deaths of three children. 

Ikea says the dressers can fall over if not fastened to the wall. 

The company says it's working with the Consumer Product Safety Commission on the recalls on how to deal with the problem. 

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Ikea will provide full refunds to customers under terms of the recall. 

Ikea launched a repair program last year for the dressers after the deaths of two children. The company says it opted to issue a full recall after the death of a third child. 

Details about the third child's death were not released.
