3 official CPSC notices naming IKEA North America, 2013–2016, across lighting & ceiling fans and furniture, covering at least 11 million units. The most recent: IKEA North America Children's and adult chests and dressers, June 28, 2016.
2 notices where the recalled products are lamps.
Children can get entangled in the electrical cord that hangs from the children's wall-mounted lamps, posing a strangulation hazard.
The lamp cord can be pulled into the crib by an infant, creating a strangulation hazard.
One notice where the recalled product is a dresser.
The recalled chests and dressers are unstable if they are not properly anchored to the wall, posing a serious tip-over and entrapment hazard that can result in death or injuries to children.
Totals add up the figures the notices state, counting a reannounced or restated recall once; 2 of 3 notices add a unit count. A notice that gives no number adds nothing.
