The product, in the report: Essential home White Belmont 4 drawer dresser purchased at K-Mart
I bought a dresser for my 4 year old in August from K-Mart. Two Saturdays ago my 4 year old decided to get his own clothes out of the drawer. When he pulled open the drawer it came all the way out and fell on his toe. I immediately threw out the dresser because it injured my son and could have been fatal had it dropped on my 10 month old. My son was not walking on his foot and crying for hours that it was painful. I took him to the emergency room later that night because he was in pain but it isn’t just looked like a bruise. The doctor took xray and stayed it was not broken and that just let him rest the foot. I kept him home from school because he wasn’t walking on it, crying even thru the night in pain and wouldn’t let anything touch it. The Thursday after the incident I contacted the pediatrician because it was not getting better and was informed to take him back to the ER to drain the blood clot that formed in his toe as it was still painful. They diagnosed a subungual hematoma and removed the blood clot. They were going top remove the toenail but NY skin was too traumatized after the needle. Followed up with podiatrist who says the nail should be removed but will cause him more discomfort and wet will try to let the nail grow out and monitor the other one and top keep coming top his shelf appointments.
