As of March 3, 2020 the company has received two incident reports with no injuries in Canada. In the United States, the company has received four incident reports with no injuries and two incident reports of minor injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the chest if not anchored to the wall. Consumers may obtain a free anchoring repair kit to secure the chest of drawers to the wall OR may bring it back to Returns & Exchanges at any IKEA location for a refund.
