  1. No one hurt

    Made Nov 16, 2017, sent to the company Nov 27, 2017, published by CPSC Dec 18, 2017

    The product, in the report: IKEA Haddal two drawer black dresser, 32 inch height.

    I have two major issues with the IKEA dresser recall. First, I have a dresser that is not included in the IKEA dresser recall. It is he Haddel 2 drawer dresser. I was first told it did not meet the height requirements. I measured the dresser and sent a picture of it to IKEA. I then received a response telling me it met their safety standards. This is insane! This dresser has tipped on my husband and I on more then one occasion. Luckily we didn’t have a child climbing on it to be injured or killed; however, we were lucky both times this happened where we were able to catch the dresser before it completely toppled over. This is an extremely heavy and long two drawer dresser and any time both drawers are open, the dresser wants to tip over. I am more then willing to do a demonstration of this happening.

    Secondly, we have eight IKEA dressers in our home. When I went to return two of them, I was told there was a limit to how many you could return. I was told six in your lifetime could be returned. The sales person told me it was because people were buying the dressers cheaply on [REDACTED] and returning them to the store. I understand it’s illegal to sell a recalled item; however, I can’t imagine why IKEA wouldn’t want these dangerous products out of people’s homes no matter what. Putting a limit on how many items can be returned absolutely defeats the purpose of the whole recall, and I’m wondering how they can even get away with turning these items away if someone brings them in.

    I am so angry right now with all of this and especially in light of another recent toddler death because of these dressers. Please help me solve these issues.
