The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Ikea told [ABC](http://abcnews.go.com/US/ikea-recalls-29-million-dressers-chests-children-crushed/story?id=40170255 "undefined") that at least 36 kids have been injured by toppling dressers and chests. The chests, including the ‘MALM’ series of drawers ([which it is no longer producing](http://The furniture giant said Monday that after the three deaths of three children it is no longer selling its "undefined")), are prone to toppling if not anchored to a wall. CPSC says that Ikea is offering a repair kit or refund for affected dressers. Customers are entitled to a full refund for furniture made between 2002-2016 or the company will send a crew to install wall anchors. \[[ABC](http://abcnews.go.com/US/ikea-recalls-29-million-dressers-chests-children-crushed/story?id=40170255 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4385169/ikea-malm-chests-recall-deaths/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4385169/ikea-malm-chests-recall-deaths/"},"headline":"Ikea Recalls Millions of Dressers in U.S. Following Deaths","datePublished":"2016-06-28T11:56:02.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:53:52.944Z","description":"Three children were crushed by falling chests","url":"https://time.com/4385169/ikea-malm-chests-recall-deaths/","keywords":["furniture","health","Companies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3bc8f89f447d810b/698899b2cd1bbad19170145b/ikea-recall-deaths.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tara John","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tara-john/"}],"articleSection":"Business","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3bc8f89f447d810b/698899b2cd1bbad19170145b/ikea-recall-deaths.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Ikea","caption":"An IKEA store in Miami on June 3, 2015.","creditText":"Alan Diaz—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/business/","name":"Business"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/furniture/","name":"furniture"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4385169/ikea-malm-chests-recall-deaths/","name":"Ikea Recalls Millions of Dressers in U.S. Following Deaths"}}]}] ```
