In 2020, Feldman turned up the heat on IKEA in a battle to keep children safe from dresser tip-overs in their bedrooms.

Feldman, who practices in all manner of catastrophic personal injury litigation, began 2020 by achieving a $46 million settlement for the family of a 2-year-old California boy who was fatally injured in May 2017 by the tip-over of an IKEA MALM three-drawer dresser, which unbeknownst to the boy’s parents, had been recalled. The settlement is believed to be the largest child wrongful death recovery in American history. It was Feldman’s fourth dresser tip-over case against IKEA. In December 2016, Feldman achieved a $50 million settlement on behalf of three families whose toddlers were killed by tip-overs of IKEA MALM dressers. The deaths of these three toddlers eventually led IKEA in June 2016 to recall nearly 30 million dressers that did not comply with the furniture industry’s national voluntary safety standard. IKEA “re-announced” the recall in November 2017 after the California boy’s death.
