In what lawyers believe to be the largest child wrongful death settlement in American history, Ikea is set to pay $46 million to a California family whose son was killed after a dresser tipped over and fell on him.

Ikea only recalled the dresser after lawyers from the Feldman Shepard law firm filed lawsuits on behalf of two other families whose children were also killed by the same type of dresser. "We would hope that this settlement raises awareness of this significant public health and safety issue. Tens of thousands of injuries occur each year; this number must be reduced," another attorney representing the families, Daniel J. Mann, told ABC News in an emailed statement.
