Swedish furniture and home goods giant IKEA is paying 46 million dollars to the family of Jozef Dudek, who was killed in 2017 when a Ikea Malm Dresser toppled over on the two year old, killing him. The amount represents the largest payout for the wrongful death of a single child in US History.
Dudek was the 8th child death, in addition to 300 reported injuries, attributed to tip overs of the Malm Dresser. Ikea has previously paid out 50 million in the deaths of 3 other children.
Ikea has recalled some 17.3 million of the dressers, and offered free anchoring kits to attach the units to the walls to prevent tip-over.
According to the United States Product Safety Commission between 2000 and 2018, 459 children where killed by tip overs of furniture, appliances, or televisions.
