Following pressure from Chinese quality officials, Sweden-based furniture retailer IKEA will recall its Malm chests of drawers and dressers in the Chinese market.


Experts said the move is a warning to foreign enterprises not to follow "double standards" when it comes to quality issues in China.


According to a statement posted on the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ), starting from Tuesday, about 1.66 million IKEA chests and dressers of multiple sizes that were sold in China from 1999 to 2016 will be recalled.


The AQSIQ and the China Consumer Association held talks with IKEA over the weekend Authentic Lucas Duda Jersey , during which they urged the company to take action.


In the US and Canada, the company announced plans in June to recall nearly 36 million chests and dressers of its Malm line, which were found to be prone to topple over and crush toddlers if not anchored to the wall. Those items have been linked to the deaths of six children, according to a statement posted last week on the US Consumer Product Safety Commission's website.


China was previously excluded from the recall plan. IKEA said last week that the chests and dressers conformed with China's local regulations and standards and had not caused any injuries in China.


IKEA's perceived double standards when it comes to the Chinese and North American markets led to an outcry from Chinese consumers.


To appease the public, IKEA announced a compromise on Thursday Authentic Kevin Kiermaier Jersey , described by domestic media as a "conditional return." The company said it would provide free screw sets for attaching the furniture items to the wall, with free home installation service on request. Furthermore, if consumers were unable to safely affix their furniture to the wall, they were able to return the items for a full refund, a post from the Shenzhen Consumer Council on Thursday noted.


Media reports suggested that the measures were merely modifications of the company's existing policies Authentic Corey Dickerson Jersey , which to date have proven ineffective, as consumers in certain cities either need to pick up the replacement screws themselves at IKEA stores or pay a separate fee for professional installation, the Xinhua News Agency reported Monday, citing local news reports.
