Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The furniture chain Ikea is recalling thousands of children's beds over fears they could lead to laceration injuries.
The announcement follows seven reported cases of a metal rod breaking and exposing sharp edges on certain batches of two different kinds of the company's beds.
A statement from the company said that people "should immediately stop using the recalled 'Kritter' and 'Sniglar' junior beds and contact IKEA to receive a free repair kit". They may also be offered a refund.
The UK is among 17 countries where customers could be affected. However, the company underlined that there have been no reports so far of any injuries.
