What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using all affected chests of drawers that are not securely anchored to the wall, and move them to an area that children can not access. Consumers have two options to remedy the tip-over hazard of the chest of drawers. Consumers may obtain a free anchoring repair kit to secure the chest of drawers to the wall OR may contact IKEA for a refund. Consumers should visit IKEA Canada retail locations for a free wall anchoring kit to use with the affected chests of drawers. To receive the anchoring kit by mail, consumers should contact IKEA Customer Support Centre at 1-800-661-9807 or by visiting IKEA on line. Consumers are advised to install the kit themselves or contact IKEA Customer Support Centre at 1-800-661-9807 for a one-time free in-home anchoring kit installation service. Consumers who would not like to secure the affected IKEA chests of drawers to the wall should return them to any IKEA location for a refund. Consumers are entitled to a full refund for chests of drawers manufactured between January 2002 and June 2016. Consumers with chests of drawers manufactured prior to January 2002 will be eligible for a partial store credit. For more information, consumers may contact IKEA Canada by visiting the Secure It! Creating safer homes together webpage or by calling the toll-free number 1-800-661-9807. Consumers may view the release by the US CPSC on the Commission's website.
