Experts say if you have one, take action now. Abc7s senior investigate evening reporter Lisa Fletcher joins us to tell us more about this. First, what is the standard . Why didnt ikea comply . Lisa the standard is something that the industry voluntary complies with. Each chest has to withstand 50 pounds of weight while open without toppling over. Most in industry abide by the idea. Ikea decided instead they would provide wall anchors, something common in european homes but foreign to most u. S. Consumers. In a matter of seconds, a curious child climbs up a piece of furniture and suddenly pinned beneath it. I went to the dresser. I saw his little head pokes up between the dresser and the bed. It had trapped his neck. Lisa gaucheries son jackies son was the first to die from the dresser. Enough is enough. Elliott kay runs the Consumer Product Safety Commission and encouraged ikea to launch a recall a year ago. The company only agreed to a repair Program Offering free wall anchor it cans. 300,000 were claimed, it covered only 1 of the product sold. They are offering 2 billion in refund to customers but emphasize the wall anchors for furniture are essential and have always been an integral part of the recommended furniture assembly. We think we can lead the way of changing the culture. So you are attaching the products to the wall. We think if we do that we have accomplished a lot as a company. Lisa for the fa happy about the recall and the message it sends. Send it back. Get rid of it. Its a dangerous product. Lisa europeans generally anchor furniture to the wall but it took a while for them to learn how americans use their product. This is a couple of screws and a strap to anchor your furniture. Every two weeks in the u. S. A child dies from a falling piece of furniture, tv or appliance. 10 million kids a year end up in the e. R. Leon thank you, lisa. Right now wjla. Com we have a list of all the models affected by the recall. You will also found out how to contact ikea to fix the dresser or return it for a refund. Alison we are on storm watch tonight.

Alison but that is just part of the offer that is now on the table for drivers. Northern Virginia Bureau chief Jeff Goldberg has what drivers need to know. Jeff the Volkswagen Settlement may be unprecedented but many drivers still find the of unbelievable. Im really shocked. Jeff raphael has been a loyal volkswagen owner for years but maybe not for much longer. Im disappointed. Ill be honest with you. I cannot believe it. Jeff officials with the Justice Department announced v. W. Agreed to pay record 14. 7 billion to settle the emissions scandal. The company admitted last year to installing software on certain diesel models, limited emissions during the testing and release up to 40 times the allowable levels of pollutants on the road. Volkswagen turned over half a million american drivers into unwitting accomplices. In an unprecedented assault on the countrys environment. Jeff more than 10 billion will go to fix or buying back diesel vehicles across the u. S. Car owners can sell them back for the value of the car before the scandal or for free. Drivers are eligible to receive additional 5,000 10,000 as part of the settlement. Some are disappointed in v. W. But not enough to stay away from the dealership again. The price is good. Leon 42 state it and d. C. Reached a settlement of 570 million with v. W. Which increases what the company owes and if possible, executive of w. V. May face criminal charges.

You can see here mike carterconneen is already down there enjoying the site where the festival will be here in a little bit. The grass is great. At least for now. Mike it looks gorgeous, leon. This project started in 2007 at third street near the capitol building. Slowly but surely the crews are making progress over the years rolling out a beautiful green grass through 12th street. Today we saw them press the anticompaction soil for the next round of sod tomorrow. By next month all of it will be done. 522,000 square feet. This construction impacted many events on the mall. This year they have more room to spread out but to protect the new grass, organizers must follow additional park service regulations. People are encouragedded to bring your own blankets because they will no longer set up lawn chairs. We are trying to help the grass looking good and protect the Natural Resource of the mall. We are working with the park service to make sure that the changes will help the park flourish and make sure that the festival is vibrant for the visitors. Mike the Opening Ceremony is tomorrow at 10 00 a. M. Next year the festival will return to the larger footprint stretching from 7th to 14th street. We should note that is because the mall will be reopened by then. In fact, because the sod is so fresh, it will remain closed off. But all of this will reopen in time for the i mall, mike carterconneen, abc7 news. Alison thank you very much. There was drama at the d. C. Council today. This is wrong what you are doing, mr.

Pat summitt won more games than anybody in College Basketball history man or woman died this morning. It has been five year since she was diagnosed with early on set dementia in the form of alzheimers. She was 64 years old. Summitt never had a losing record in the 38 seasons at the university of tennessee. She not only had a major impact on her players but athletes around the nation including right here in the d. M. V. She impacted so many lives with what she was able to do in her 38year career. She never entertained defeat. Erin remembering pat summitt. Pioneer of profound athletes in general, not just basketball, to get respect there was. Incredible legacy. Erin mystics assistant coach Marion Stanley was the head coach in michigan. I was 20. She was in her 20s at tennessee. We competed head to head quite a few times. I know personally and firsthand the competitive nature that is pat summitt. Mystics guard ivory latta says she was recruited by pat summitt before she decided on north carolina. I met her. You are a kid in high school. I look and she is like how are you doing . Im just like for her to leave the game at a young age is heartbreaking. But the impact that she left on the game will live you have a purpose in life. She lived that purpose in her life.

Alison the Sweeping Changes proposes in how two proposed in how two former lawmakers hope to help fight alison 7 on your side with Health Matters and helping kickstart your fitness routine.

C. , miss maryland and Miss Virginia and others. Phone lines are open until 6 30. You still have a little bit of time. Leon now to a 7 on your side Health Matters report. American academy of pediatrics is asking doctors the talk to teens about the risk factors behind suicide. Similar to the story you heard this evening, doctors are saying teens living in a home with a gun are more likely to commit suicide. Research shows lgbt teens are more than twice as likely to have suicidal thoughts. Bullying and internet can lead to it but can be prevented by identifying the signs. Alison more people now die from drug overdoses than car accidents. And so much of that is due to opioid overdoses. As we report, two unlikely allies are teaming up now to bring forth Sweeping Change in how to deal with these addictions. Reporter Patrick Kennedy the issue is a personal one. I have been under medication treatment for my opioid addiction. I had to find a doctor who could prescribe for it. That is very difficult these days to do. Reporter his partner in the project advocates for opioid recovery is former speaker of the house Newt Gingrich who says the stigma of addiction often gets in way of looking as it as a disease. There is a myth that everyone can will themselves off of it. Imagine if we said you know we shouldnt give people insulin. They have to will themselves to the correct diet and exercise and giving them insulin makes them weaker. Reporter heroin was once thought to be reserved for inner city and back alley. With the massive increase in opioids like oxycontin and heroin and the deaths from both skyrocketed. Kennedy a democrat and gingrich a republican are can block opiate receptors more mainstream. Critics say they themselves can become addicted and the only way to end an addiction is total abstinence from any drug. But kennedy says that is based on outdated science. They do not know that recovery can be stability. Maintaining a job, providing for your family. Reporter they are also fighting to increase Mental Health treatment and transform the way society views addiction. But convincing the former colleagues in washington could be a major challenge. Reporter this isnt just adding a drug but changing the system. This is a challenge to the system over all. How do we treat this illness . Reporter a question they say has been answered and now needs to news at 5 00. Here is what is coming up at abc7 news at 6 00 28 now dead and more than 60 people injured in an airport attack in turkey. What we are learning at this hour. Plus, summer storms underway.

Leon Jonathan Elias in the newsroom monitoring the latest developments. What is the latest . Jonathan we are getting troubling and disturbing vid out of the area. 28 dead. 60 others injured. Maybe ten seriously of those 60. We got a video shows the blast taking place. We understand three separate suicide bombers targeted the airport. That is a check point outside the actual terminal. It was there that the man apparently lifted his jacket, pulled out an ak47 and opened fire. When security guards returned fire that is when he detonated the bomb. Again, two bombs, we understand, did go off. Of the suspects we know that two of them, one of them is dead obviously. He blew himself up. The other one we believe was shot. Again, live pictures of the airport starting to get some idea of what happened there. Now these are live pictures now of the aftermath there. You can imagine First Responders all over the place trying to help those who have been wounded in this attack. They opened fire at a crowded International Terminal entrance. That was one of the entrances. He blew himself up. That was the video we saw. Police ended up
