  双语:因致三名儿童死亡 宜家宣布停售抽屉柜 

  Ikea is recalling millions of dressers that can tip over and are being blamed for the deaths of three children。

  宜家的抽屉柜有翻倒的危险,曾连夺三个孩子的性命,现宜家正在召回数百万的抽屉柜。

  The dressers have been known to fall over if they are not fastened to the wall, and the issue was already linked to the death of two toddlers that spurred Ikea to launch a repair program in July 2015。

  据说,这些抽屉柜如果没有被固定在墙上,极有可能会翻倒,并且,这个问题在2015年7月已经导致了两名小孩死亡,并促使宜家启动了修复程序。

  “We are announcing this recall today given the recent tragic death of a third child。 It is clear that there are still unsecured products in customers’ homes, and we believe that taking further action is the right thing to do,” the company said in a statement Monday。

  星期一,宜家在一份声明中说,“鉴于第三名小孩发生这个悲剧,我们今天宣布此次召回。很显然,在我们客户的家中还有一些不安全的产品,并且我们相信,采取进一步的措施是正确的事。”

  There were no immediate details about the death of the third child。

  关于第三个孩子的死亡,并未透露最新的细节。

  Ikea said it’s been in “close contact” with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which helps carry out recalls, about how to remedy the hazard。 The CPSC declined to comment Monday evening。

  宜家表示,其一直都在与美国消费品安全委员会保持“密切联系”,以实施产品召回以及进行危害赔偿。美国消费品安全委员会谢绝在星期一晚上作出回应。

  Ikea would not confirm to CNN Money what customers will receive under the recall, though the Philadelphia Inquirer reported full refunds will be offered。

  客户在召回中会得到怎样的补偿,宜家并未告知CNN Money,不过据《费城问询报》报道,宜家将给予全额补偿。

  Company spokesperson Mona Liss said details will be offered Tuesday morning。

  该公司发言人蒙纳丽丝表示将在星期二早提供具体信息。

  The problem has been associated with several styles of dressers, though it was Malm chests and dressers that have been linked to at least two of the deaths over the past two years。

  这个问题与多种风格的抽屉柜有关,尽管在过去两年内,Malm型号床头柜和抽屉柜曾发生过至少两起死亡事件。

  The company did not alter the product’s design or take it off the market following the launch of the repair program in 2015。 The repair program provided new kits to attach the dressers to the wall for customers who hadn’t used the original hardware to secure the dressers。

  自2015年启动修复计划后,宜家仍未改变产品的设计,也没有从市场停售。修复计划为那些未使用原始固定装置的顾客们提供了新的设备,以便将柜子固定在墙上,

  Three other deaths linked to different Ikea dressers have occurred since 1989。

  自1989年来,还有另外三起由宜家的柜子引发的死亡事件。它们的设计风格迥异。
