What is richardson v ikea claims administrator?

Richardson v IKEA Claims Administrator is a settlement that occurred in 2018, which required the Swedish furniture company to pay $50 million in settlements to the families of three toddlers who were killed when IKEA dressers fell on them. This issue was due to the instability of the dressers, which were prone to tipping over if not properly anchored to the wall. As part of the settlement, IKEA agreed to stop selling the dressers, as well as to provide refunds or anchoring kits for customers who had already purchased them. The claims administrator was appointed to oversee the compensation claims process for eligible customers. The settlement was seen as a significant win for child safety and highlighted the importance of companies providing safe equipment for consumers.
