Ikea: 46 million dlr per child killed by a dresser

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 7 - Ikea has agreed to pay $ 46 million in compensation to the parents of a 2-year-old boy, Jozef Dudek, who died suffocated in 2017 in California after a chest of drawers of the Malm model produced by the company fell on him . The BBC reports it.
According to lawyers, this is the largest compensation ever granted for the accidental death of a child in the United States.
In 2016, Ikea had already agreed to pay $ 50 million to close a common lawsuit filed by the families of three other children who died in the same way: CamdenEllis and Curren Collas, both 2 years old, and Ted McGee, 23 months old. "Although no deal can change the tragic events, for the sake of the family and all those involved, we are grateful that this cause has come to an end," said an Ikea spokesman. Jozef Dudek's parents will donate $ 1 million in compensation to organizations who are hitting to protect children from dangerous products.
