The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Jun 28, 2016, sent to the company Jul 7, 2016, published by CPSC Jul 28, 2016

    The product, in the report: Ikea 5 drawer dresser, black-brown, top 2 drawers are not as deep, sides of drawers are white.

    Our son had pulled out the bottom drawer of his dresser from Ikea (not Malm, but a tall 5 drawer dresser) and the entire dresser tipped on top of him. Luckily we heard his TV fall off the top and hit the floor. When trying to pull the dresser off of him, his head became stuck between the bottom 2 drawers. Luckily he was okay after.

    The product, in the report: Blue glass desk with silver legs from Ikea.

    We purchased a blue glass desk from Ikea about 2 years ago. An hour ago my son was in his room drawing on his desk as usual and all of a sudden his desk shattered all over him and he was so scared and hurt. I didn’t justbbreak its like it exploded. Tiny little pieces everywhere and it even was like glass powder all over!!!! I immediately took a couple pictures just case as well as saving the pieces as evidence. Im just so glad it wasn’t worse. I just don’t want this to happen again to someone else. Please help!
