IKEA will pay $46-million to parents of toddler crushed to death by a dresser GlobeBusiness
Attorneys representing the Dudek family, Alan Feldman, left, Daniel Mann, and Edward Goldis walk from a news conference, past IKEA's Malm dresser in Philadelphia, on Jan. 6, 2020. IKEA has agreed to pay $46 million to the parents of a 2-year-old boy who died of injuries suffered when a 70-pound recalled dresser tipped over onto him, the family’s lawyers said Monday.
On May 24, 2017, when Craig Dudek went to check on Jozef in a bedroom where he had been sleeping, he found his son pinned beneath the drawers of the 70-pound dresser that had toppled onto to him, according to the lawsuit. Jozef died later that day from asphyxia caused by mechanical compression of the neck, the lawsuit said.
“While no settlement can alter the tragic events that brought us here, for the sake of the family and all involved, we’re grateful that this litigation has reached a resolution,” the IKEA spokeswoman said. “We remain committed to working proactively and collaboratively to address this very important home safety issue. Again, we offer our deepest condolences.”
