Did you return your Ikea dresser that was part of the recall? No date stamp to be found.

+1 except we threw it in our SUV and took it back.
Our drawers were all broken and we were going to get rid of it recall or not.
The return process was painless.

Yeah, you may have to pull out all of the drawers in order to find the date sticker. It could be on the back or bottom of a drawer, on the underside of the dresser itself etc so long as nothing like a drawer is missing and the sticker is there they will reimburse you the price paid for the item. No questions asked. The fact of the matter is, several CHILDREN have suffered brutal deaths by being smothered by thesee top heavy, lightweight dressers, and their families had to find them, to make things more devastating. I don't know what kind of cheap garbage people like to proliferate their lives with, oh wait, yes I do! None of my furniture is "tippy" other than the dining room chairs and the rocking chair. It would seem some people have their values so far tweaked in a specific direction, their knee jerk reaction to a recall (that was voluntary on the part of the manufacturer mind you) is to suggest the consumer, excuse me, VICTIMS FAMILIES are in some way inept, incompetent, reactionary, and opportunistic. I wonder if they ever wonder how they developed this worldview, that the tragedies brought on families are ultimately speed bumps in a corporate landscape, and therefore they take it upon themselves to opine such a cold callous attitude, with flippant remarks like "lots of furniture should be anchored to the wall". Wouldn't that be nice to have someone bother to mention after you find your child lifeless under your dresser you put together, that was such a good deal. What is so offensive is how self assured you all come off, like you're so smart to avoid silly tragedies in your life, and even if you were so unfortunate, you would Buck up and still go buy anotherr God damned dresser from old Ikea, cause you'll be damned if your gonna let a funeral get in the way of free market consumption! Maybe ikea should just offer to build the caskets and that would shut up these dumb dumbs. All their complaining is giving me a headache, you know what I mean?

Done with your diatribe now?

Feel better?

Thanks for educating all of us DCUM morons. <eyeroll>

Dressers other than Ikea tip over easily (and have killed children), too. If you have small children, you should attach anything that is a possible tipping hazard to the wall. Even antiques will tip over if you pull the top drawers out or climb up the drawers. I know this from experience.
