(ECNS) -- Swedish furniture maker IKEA has decided to fix or recall a line of dressers after the company came under fire for excluding China from its massive recall plan.
IKEA said it would help attach the chests to walls free of charge, or customers could return the product if they wanted.
A staff member at IKEA also said that if the wall was not load bearing, then the chest of drawers couldn't be attached and should be returned, Beijing Youth Daily reported.
The recall was launched after six children in the United States and Canada lost their lives in incidents associated with the dresser, marketed mainly under the Malm brand and also sold in China.
IKEA previously refused to recall the products in China, saying that the furniture met Chinese standards and there had been no reported accidents with it.
The furniture maker's revised move came about after Chinese media outlets, including state news agency Xinhua, joined online outcry over the different treatment of the Chinese market.
IKEA's annul sale figures in China reached 10.5 billion yuan ($1.58 billion) in 2015, about one third of global sales, while the annual growth in China from 2010 to 2015 was 5.1 timers higher than the global pace.
