Ikea has agreed to pay US$46 million to the parents of a 2-year-old boy who died of injuries suffered when a 32-kilogram recalled dresser tipped over onto him, the family's lawyers said Monday.
Jozef Dudek, of Buena Park, California, died in 2017 of his injuries, and his parents sued the Swedish home furnishings company in a Philadelphia court in 2018.
The settlement also requires Ikea to meet with the advocacy organization, Parents Against Tip-overs, and broaden its outreach to consumers about the recall of Ikea dressers, according to the Dudek's lawyers, Feldman Shepherd Wohlgelernter Tanner Weinstock Dodig.
