WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Another baby has reportedly died after a recalled Ikea dresser tipped over.
Two-year-old Jozef Dudek of California is reportedly the eighth child to be killed by the Ikea dresser that was recalled in June 2016. The family's lawyer said the three-drawer Ikea dresser tipped over and crushed the baby during nap time. The accident happened in May.
Ikea had recalled the dresser in June 2016 because it was unstable if not properly anchored to the wall and could easily tip-over and hurt children. Ikea is offering a refund or a wall anchoring kit for consumers.
In a written statement to ABC News, Ikea said, 'Our hearts go out to the affected family, and we offer our sincere condolences during this most difficult time.' The company added that 'the initial investigation indicates that the chest involved in this incident had not been properly attached to the wall.'
