Officials report fourth child death linked to IKEA MALM dresser

Federal officials on Friday reported a fourth child fatality associated with an IKEA dresser recalled in June.

Other fatalities related to the MALM dresser also include a 2-year-old boy from West Chester, Pa., a 23-month-old boy from Snohomish, Wash. and a 22-month-old boy from Apple Valley, Minn.

The summer recall included about 8 million MALM chests and dressers and 21 million other children’s and adult chests.
