A MUM thought her daughter was going to DIE after IKEA drawers allegedly crushed her – leaving her ‘scarred for life’.
Kellie Curtis, 25, from Long Eaton, Notts, claims she came into a bedroom at her family home at 6.30pm last Monday and found little Evie-Mai McKenzie trapped under the Malm drawers covered in blood.
The tot was rushed to the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham and kept in overnight after receiving 20 stitches to a sickening gash to her temple.
Kellie said: “As soon as I heard the bang, I instantly knew exactly what must have happened.
“When I came in, the drawers were on top of her and I just saw the blood on the side of her face.
“She was in hysterics and crying her eyes out – I just thought she was going to die.
“I have said it quite a few times this week that someone has been watching out for Evie up there because she has been unbelievably lucky to still be here.
“It’s quite scary because she really doesn’t seem to care and it hasn’t fazed her at all, although she’s not so keen on going back into the bedroom.”
The news comes as the Swedish furniture giant is set to recall tens of millions of killer chests of drawers from after three toddlers in the US lost their lives in two years
