11/09/2021 I have rewatched this documentary so many times! Wish there was a second season See more 05/01/2021 Broken - Deadly Dressers had me screaming "fuc* off" at the TV as Karen-like mothers, and limp, doughy dads blamed IKEA because they failed to read the instructions and secure furniture to the wall. This so that their unsupervised kids wouldn't be hurt when they opened the drawers and climbed the dressers. Cheap furniture purchased. Instructions and warnings ignored. Unsupervised kid. Predictable outcome. This is a story of parental negligence. See more 10/18/2020 A truly eye opening series that will hopefully change the way consumers buy and look into products the we use.
