  • Ikea has issued a recall for at least 27 million chests and dressers that can easily tip over onto children, injuring or killing1 them, NBC News confirmed.

    The furniture giant said Monday that after the three deaths of three children it is no longer selling its "Malm" series products because they "could be a danger," Ikea USA president Lars Peterson told NBC News.

    NBC新闻证实,宜家已经宣布召回至少2700万个容易翻倒砸死或砸伤孩子的箱子和梳妆台。这个家居巨头星期三宣布,在发生了三起孩童死亡事件后,它将不再销售Malm系列产品,因为这些产品很危险。宜家美国总裁Lars Peterson告诉NBC新闻。

    "Please take them out of the room," Peterson said, adding that customers are eligible2 for a free repair kit3 to anchor the furniture to a wall. Refunds4 will also be offered.

    The announcement comes after an anchor campaign last year — and amid staggering statistics: every 24 minutes, a child is sent to the emergency room by a falling piece of furniture or a television, according the federal government's watchdog agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Every two weeks, a child dies.

    “请将它们移出房间”,Peterson说道,补充说道消费者将有权获得一个免费的修理配件来将家具固定在墙上。也将允许退款。这个声明发布在一个去年的加固家具运动以后——根据联邦政府监查机构和消费者产品安全委员会的一项惊人的统计数据:每24分钟就有一个孩子被掉落的一件掉落的家具或电视送进急诊室。每两周就有一个孩子死亡。

    "I never heard of that before," she said, adding that one of her "main goals right now is to just spread the word about anchoring anything that could fall."

    In a statement to NBC News, Ikea said it issued the recall despite the anchor campaign, which resulted in the company sending out 300,000 kits5.

    "我从没有听说过这种事,”她说到,补充说她现在的一个主要目标是呼吁固定任何可能掉落的东西在墙上。根据一份NBC新闻的声明,宜家宣布召回,虽然加固家具运动导致公司送出300000套配件。

    "It is clear that there are still unsecured products in customers' homes," the statement says. "We believe that taking further action is the right thing to do."

    “可以确定的是仍然有不安全的产品存在于消费者的家中,”声明中说到,“我们相信尽早采取行动是正确的。”
