Ikea Reaches $46 Million Settlement Over Death Of Toddler Killed By Dresser Tip-Over
Ikea has agreed to pay $46 million to a California family whose 2-year-old son,
Jozef Dudek, was killed when an unsecured Ikea dresser fell on top of him.
The family’s lawyers say the dresser model was “inherently unstable.”
At least eight children are believed to have been killed by dressers that the Swedish furniture giant has recalled, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Daniel Mann, a lawyer for the Dudek family, said that millions of the recalled dressers may still be in use.
