Dressers keep killing kids. So IKEA is finally redesigning them

This is a great thing to see. When we were kids, my brother crawled into a dresser drawer when we were playing around. His weight on the open drawer caused the dresser to fall forward, trapping him inside a partially closed drawer. I barely got out of the way before it fell on me. And, being a huge wooden dresser, my mother couldn&#x27;t lift it herself to get him out.<p>If it had fallen differently we both could have died, and there was nothing wrong with the dresser itself. We were just dumb kids who liked climbing in things. It&#x27;s one of my earliest vivid memories.

I guess not even parents screw them to the wall. The fixtures have always been included, and the manual warns owners to fix the furniture to the wall.

Nice. About time. I think I&#x27;ve seen this feature in some filing cabinets.<p>When I was a kid, I had a heavy metal dresser that was prone to being top-heavy and falling over with just any second drawer barely out of place (the drawers were difficult to move).

In these kind of cases they always seem to treat it as an accident and not prosecute the parents. I wonder if that is actually an effective strategy.
