In a deal with federal regulators, Ikea announced Tuesday that it would recall 29 million chests and dressers in the United States after at least six toddlers were crushed to death in tip-over accidents.The move by the Swedish company, the world's largest furniture seller, represented a crucial victory for consumer advocates in a yearslong effort to hold it accountable for a growing death toll of young children dating to 1989.The head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a stark warning to owners of furniture included in the recall."If you have or think you have one of these products, act immediately," the commission's chairman, Elliot F. Kaye, said in a statement. "It is simply too dangerous to have the recalled furniture in your home unanchored, especially if you have young children."Alan M Feldman, a Philadelphia lawyer who is representing three of the families of toddlers in lawsuits against Ikea, said he welcomed the recall, but wished it had been issued much sooner.
