IKEA PRODUCTS KILL AMERICAN CHILDREN

It seems IKEA has decided to “voluntarily” recall 36 million of their shit particle board, slave labor produced products. All it took was the deaths of six innocent children and the government threatening legal action. Executives from IKEA should be prosecuted. They’ve known these products were defective since the early 1990s. I was in the corporate office in the early 1990s when the first child was killed when one of their cheap shabbily made drawers fell on the child. My boss, Mike McDonald, was the CFO and negotiated the payout to the family.

When the top drawers of these crap units are pulled out, the drawer unit falls over. IKEA then started giving out straps to secure the units to the wall, rather than fix the defect. Profits matter more to this “social responsible” company than the lives of children. They’ve been caught using child labor in India to make their rugs. They push the limits of tax laws to avoid taxes. Their products had formaldehyde in them until they were forced to stop. 

They still deny responsibility for killing these kids. What a great company.
