Watch a Toddler Easily Pull Down Furniture As IKEA Issues Warning 

my mom used to drop a heavy cutting board on a grape and say that's what would happen to us if we climbed shelves or furniture 😂😂

Flex tape. Solution fixed

This actually happened to me when I was three. Even though this happen over 15 years ago it was very dramatic for my mom who found me after a couple minutes. Lucky I wasn't severely injured

1:28 DO NOT use expanding anchors as shown. That kind of anchor is good intended for sheer strength, not tensile strength. They can easily be pulled out of drywall. Use a butterfly type anchor instead!

That demonstration with the baby dummy is just scary

My brother did this when he was three and the fish tank fell on his head because the dresser tipped over and the tank fell on him. He ended up splitting his head open, and the only reason why he cried was because the fish was dying and needed water. He stopped crying after the fish was in water

I Dont like how they say"IKEAS" dresser when it happens with all dressers. This will make a big lose for the company

Solution: JUST SCREW THE DAMN THING IN

I tipped over a dresser as a kid. My parents punished me as such. Never did it again. No companies were sued.

I never dealt with that because my parents actually read the directions that came with the drawers. Especially the part where it said to anchor it.

0:35 Guy: he shows how easy it is to climb up his bedroom drawer Stool on the right: AM I A JOKE TO YOU

My sister 10 years ago once made this happen but thank God she's unharmed and still here as a family.

This isn’t just IKEA furniture, literally any brand of dressers can fall down exactly the same when the weight is very off balanced, like that from a toddler climbing.

Get rid of the dresser and just throw clothes on the floor. Much cheaper and safer. Now pay me for the brilliant idea.

Why isn't this the parent's responsibility? My parents anchored dressers to the wall in the 80's and 90's just to prevent stuff like this from happening. Kids have been climbing since the dawn of man.

I mean, a lot of furniture is easily able to topple over if kids climb up. It’s not that surprising. My dresser will fall over if I have more than 3 doors pulled open. Edit to add, it’s not from ikea.

heres the moral of this story: dont climb cabinets and get a real tv stand

1:46 WhEn iT's MonDaY

IKEA: put this safety clip on Lazy parent: no Parents kid: dies from furniture falling on him Parent: ITS IKEAS FAULT!!!!!

0:41 imagine if his mom had made just a small accident and missed the dresser...

I freaked out when that kid tipped that dresser, I didn't know his mom was there

I feel bad for the family’s that lost a kid from a dresser falling over

0:54 I know it's a dummy but this terrifies me. I can't imagine losing a child because a cabinet fell over.

As a construction guy, I do not recommend that type of anchor to protect my children. They pull out fairly easy. I would use a spring loaded collapsible wing nut type. Or better yet, find a stud to screw into.

1:01 *When you try parkour in your room*

That's why we stick/screw things to the walls, kids shouldn't even be climbing on drawers

I still remember this happening one time to me and my sister. The dresser we were climbing was about twice as big but we were climbing it at the same time. We didn’t even have carpet at the time. I’m honestly surprised we didn’t get injured badly when it fell on us.

I remember doing that when I was 10 with my sister. I pushed her out of the way and somehow managed to hold up the shelf as things were falling out.

it's a chest. not a jungle gym. it's not IKEAs fault if you let your child do a DIY rock climbing experience at home.

Ok WHY WOULD U TEST A TV ON THAT RUBBISH???

I also climbed a cabinet when I was 4, but it was much higher. Thankfully I managed to dodge the fall on me in time or I would be dead or paralyzed today.

This had happened to me 2 years ago- the tv fell on my head. I had no injuries and I’m thankful for that

It's the same thing as the whole tide pod poisoning thing. People start blaming the company for making their products to colorful and inviting for children. Instead of carefully watching their children, parents turn to blaming the products and company. It's the same thing with the dressers. It's not the product. it's the parenting

My mom is a hero. My brother got one of these IKEA dressers and my brother pulled out all the drawers and it almost literally fell on him until my mom rushed and pushed it back up.

When I was 6 my little brother managed to get behind the dresser and the dresser was HEAVY then i heard his screams, ran upstairs with my tiny legs, and I pulled a 152 pound dresser out of the way to get him out Amazing things can happen with god on you’re side.

There were already holes designated for it. You can’t be responsible for stupidity. Any bought new night tables, they modified the design to include very heavy back and sides to add structural soundness, it adds easily 15# to the night stand (hemnes). Very solid, not going anywhere.

That moment when you realize you have that exact same dresser sitting in your room right now. 😂😂😂

So people want easy to move furniture, but also want furniture that doesn't move? I'm seriously confused here.

That happened to me twice as a kid, now I realize how serious it may be.

Thats how my little cousin passed away RIP Lorlie 2015-2017 May u rest in peace 😇♥

lol that happen to me when i was younger. I thought i was spiderwomen and decided to climb the dresser.... next thing u know it fell but then i barrel rolled under the bed :P

I have that dresser it fell before And killed my tv

This once happened to my brother but with a bigger one. I vaguely remember the cries and walking into the room. He luckily survived thanks to my grandma and i, but it was traumatizing

When I was 3 or 4 I tried to climb up onto the tv stand… I was on one of the Drawers when the whole thing started to tip, I managed to push myself away and kind of land on my butt where the tv landed. The tv landed on my head but the stand didn’t. I was okay but I never realized how lucky I was when looking back from that experience. (In case you were wondering my mom was getting the mail so no one was there to stop me except for my twin brother who didn’t know any better either)

I did this when I was about 9 ish. I held the heavy dresser up temporarily but I was lucky my dad was near by to help me.

Why do toddlers have tv's in there rooms

My dresser fell on me when I was a baby, Lucky no one was seriously hurt and I get away with a few cuts and a black eye

In the UK, cookers have to have a safety chain fitted to the rear, every year when the gas/heating is checked for safety, also the cooker is checked to see if the chain is fitted, this chain is so important and is a legal requirement in the UK.

It's 2016 no one has a box TV or whatever it is.

Me: *looks at large and tall IKEA wardrobe right beside my bed that's not anchored to the wall* Hi... Please don't kill me...

this happened to me. i couldn’t breathe when it fell on my chest. it’s been years and years but it still stays with me.

I remember this happening to me back in my childhood because I was an idiot and climbed on a bookshelf, but somehow I luckily got out without any injuries.

I'm 14 now, this happened to me when I was 5. I remember what happened perfectly.I tried to open the door of a dresser, but it wouldn't budge. so I pulled, and the whole thing fell on me, along with the TV on top of it. Although this wasn't a flat screen tv, it was a huge box tv. What happened next I don't remember a lot of, I do know I had to go to the hospital and they also had to shave my hair to treat the wound. All I remember was using my arms to stop it from smashing my head, but my lower half was pinned under the dresser, I had to move my head to the side and when my arms grew too tired I had to let the tv rest on my torso with my head to the side. I didn't exactly have the energy to yell, so I was stuck like that for I think around 10 minutes, but it felt like forever.

I thought y’all gonna have a furniture expert

So basically if you massively change the center of gravity of an object it will fall over? Shocking! On a serious note though, yes of course this is a possibility. Its certainly good to make people aware of it as while it may seem intuitive to some, to others it just isn't something they would think about. I wouldn't directly blame ikea though. As long as it is mentioned in the manual that is as much as they can really do. Plus the wall fixings of course, though that's something easy to get hold of separately if need be.

Me: *shows mom video* Mom: iT's tHe pArEnTs fAuLt nOt iKeA

Gosh my brother did this one time when he was throwing a temper tantrum. Thankfully he had pulled a drawer COMPLETELY out of the dresser so when the dresser fell he landed in the empty drawer slot

Just imagine when you nailed your dresser on the wall and when you open your drawer your dresser AND wall fall down

I literally did that once as a kid. I was pinned on the ground for like 5 minutes. That’s how I lost my gold fish I had on my dresser.

This happened to me 2 or 3 times when I was a little kid trying to change the channel on my old box tv. I'm lucky that thing didn't crush my head.

"Fasten all furniture to the walls" OK *staples bed to roof* Edit - Wow, it's been a full year since I commented this. Have a good day children.

And that's why my family srews the thingys to my wall!

So I just watched another video by you and it played the ending noice then played another video and the sound played perfect, it sounded like it just reset

THIS IS THE THIRD VIDEO IN A ROW WITH A NICOLE My name has never been so SPECIAL 🥰

ok wat if you have an Ikea wall

Or you know you can just teach your child climbing the dresser is not appropriate, but nooooo it's ikeas fault they didn't tell you that your kids shouldn't climb things that can fall on them.

We used several anchors on all tippable furniture (each piece had several anchors). I dont trust even safety tested furniture.

Ikea's own anchoring system usually comes with a durable material that you can mount it to a stud so by using just anchor's like what you saw isn't always going to be super safe especially going into cheap drywall.

I got an ikea ad for this

SO... Blame it All on ikea...

This might also be an idea if you live somewhere in a major earthquake zone, for example Japan, New Zealand or the West Coast of the United States or Canada.

This happend to me when i was 5 yrs old but my big bro helped me get out alive so im thankful for that!(This happend long time ago)

So tell your children not to climb the damn furniture!

keep them in a padded room until theyre 18

Ppl really expect furnitures made of a light low-density material to be as steady as the heaviest iron.. 🙄

That’s why they make safety straps to connect them to the wall. I had them on anything that could possibly tip, back when my now 12 year old was a baby.

Ok if your child died from this you really can't sue IKEA. It was your child's fault even if they didn't know. They pulled out all the drawers and climbed on it putting all of its weight on it. A lot of dressers would do that.

Your side chick gets pregnant, buy her all the IKEA furniture she wants.

when I was a kid this was still an issue. The solution? my parents taught me at a young age that it's dangerous to climb on the dressers. Then they attached the dresser to the wall with a simple safety clip. Me or my brother both never climbed them, but if we did it would have been taken care of. Oh what am I saying just sue IKEA its their fault I cant parent my kid properly

some people don't deserve to be parents, and shouldn't not be having kids

OMG when they showed it with the doll

*yes cause you definitely teach kids to climb furniture!!*

Here’s an idea: include the anchoring kits with the chests. People will spend a little less money sure, but it’s better than being sued.

i own an ikea alarm for years and yet i cant hear the alarm sound yet smh

One time I climbed furniture it fell on a basket and i was inside the basket drawer was on top of me then when I got out the basket i told my parents we we're all laughing and at that time I was 9 now I'm going to be 11.nothig happened to me.

As soon as it said " This Adorable two year old" I was just like " I'm done "

The exact thing happened to me when I was four and I remember it like it was yesterday lol

glad to see a company trying to do something instead of just saying sorry

A tv fell on me when I was three, I didn’t cry when it fell on me I was like wow and acted like it was a normal day :/

That's really scary.

I still remember when I almost got crushed by a heavy wooden wardrobe. I was on the small side for my age so I was around the same size as my two younger sisters at the time. They were starting to climb the drawers by pulling them out and using them as steps. I looked at them and told them not to do that because our mom told us not to because it's dangerous. They didn't listen to me and just ignored me. At the time I was sitting on the floor playing with some blocks while my sibling climbed up higher and continued to not listen to me. I was 6, so I gave up eventually and played with the toys on the floor right next to the drawer they were climbing. Eventually at one point both of them were at the top standing so side the top two pull out compartments. And then the drawer started to tip. In the moment they jumped the short distance to the bed. While I was there sitting on the floor right under it . And I noticed it just in time as I quickly scrambled to jump out of the way as it came smashing down right where I was sitting. And it almost caught my leg on the way out.

fun fact: once when I was about 3 or 4 I was getting dressed and thought, oh why don’t I open all of the drawers and see what happens? so I did that and as I was opening the last drawer, it started to tip. I would’ve died if my desk wasn’t right by it. I started bawling until my dad came up and pushed it back into place. the desk nor dresser had no damage at all, surprisingly.

"Can even kill" Me:That killed the camera

Why Is there just a problem with Ikea?

Once my mom’s friend’s dog was staying over and the dog hid in a drawer that was open and we thought he ran away. Thank god we found him

And clothing racks as well. I had one in my room as a kid because my mom had to make space to store holiday decorations, and the small apartment just didn't have enough space to store things elsewhere, and my closet was the biggest. So one morning I go to get a hanger off of this rack and the amount of clothing must have weakened the supports, so it fell on my small body and I couldn't get it off of me. I kept screaming for help, and it wasn't until a good 20 minutes until my mom came into the room and saw the large rack on top of me. Glad we got rid of some things so we could put my clothes in the closet again. We threw the rack out. A similar thing also happened with a dresser at a friend's house. Their dresser crashed on top of me as I was finding a good hiding spot behind it because we were playing with his Nerf guns. I still don't know why to this day his parents never secured it to the wall after that. It was really heavy too. He had to get his older brother to help pry it off of me. Got away with only a few gnarly bruises. Still, secure all your dressers to the wall. It's common sense. Especially if you have small children who climb on things.

Take it as a lesson kids, too much TV can indeed kill you! Or at least make you square. Get it? Square! The TV stuck to your head...

The baby that died was so sad

I used to do something similar to this but I always looked behind my TV when watching a TV show because I thought I’d get to see the characters from that show behind the tv

I died from that dummie test at the start 🤣🤣
