I came across this article about Ikea cabinets killing children in the US. Ikea USA issued a recall on it some time ago (now "relaunching" that recall). The recall for similar cabinets was extended to China but Ikea Singapore still claims it is safe to use in Singapore. Some questions come to mind:
1. How can the same item be unsafe in USA and China but safe in Singapore? Our children are made tougher than ang mo and PRC children?
2. Ikea Singapore says there are no incidents in Singapore except one from 10 years ago. Are they waiting for something to happen before they act?
3. People have been saying that consumer safety is lacking in China. Guess what, Singapore is worse! (at least in this case).
