Senator Amy Klobuchar
IKEA is recalling 29 million chests and dressers due to a tip-over hazard linked to the deaths of at least six children–including one from Minnesota. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the units are unstable if they are not properly anchored to the wall. U-S Senator Amy Klobuchar started the recall push after a 22-month old from Apple Valley was killed by a falling Malm dresser in February. Klobuchar says while the recall “won’t bring back the children who tragically lost their lives to tip-overs, it will hopefully prevent future tragedies by taking this dresser off the market and leading to greater public awareness.”
