<p>PHILADELPHIA (AP) &#8212; Lawyers for three families say Ikea is agreeing to pay $50 million because toddlers died when the company&#8217;s dressers tipped over on them.</p><p>The Swedish home furnishings retailer has recalled millions of chests and dressers because of concerns the furniture can tip over when the drawers are opened. The families&#8217; lawyers say Ikea will also make donations to children&#8217;s hospitals.</p><p>Johanna Iritz, a spokeswoman for Ikea in Sweden, said Thursday &#8220;it would be inappropriate to comment,&#8221; adding the settlement was pending a U.S. court approval. She referred further questions to its U.S. division. A message seeking comment from Ikea&#8217;s U.S. headquarters in Conshohocken, near Philadelphia, wasn&#8217;t immediately returned.</p><p>The tentative settlements involve the deaths of 2-year-olds in West Chester, Pennsylvania; Snohomish, Washington; and Apple Valley, Minnesota.</p><style>
