You are ignorant of the facts, as that's actually a terrible example. Educate yourself before you continue to spew all over the place.

IKEA has always had the anti-tip braces/straps in their taller furniture kits. Most of the time people don't want to put them in or worse, anchor the furniture to drywall and not a stud. For IKEA...

How soon we forget, there used to be humps in the middle of most cars so floor cup holders were not common and the actual cup holder was designed for taller soda cups, no way to put a coffee cup in...

And that 20% came out of her award.
Read up on it, it's not a frivolous suit and is only a great example of people who think the country is going downhill but fail to read facts.

IKEA furniture is junk. When did we become a throw away society? Just buy cheap crappy products, use them for a couple years and toss them in the trash. Nasty species we are...said yoda.
