Unsecured wardrobe injures child in Russian rehabilitation center accident
A freestanding wardrobe toppled onto a child at the Big Taraskul Rehabilitation Center in Labytnangi. The accident happened when the unsecured furniture fell as the child opened its door. Both the injured boy and his younger brother were affected by the incident.
The wardrobe had not been fixed to the wall, causing it to collapse when the child pulled the door. He suffered bruising to his elbow, shoulder, and nose. His younger brother, who witnessed the fall, later showed signs of heightened anxiety.
No similar incidents involving overturning furniture in Russian medical or rehabilitative facilities have been recorded in the past five years. The Labytnangi city prosecutor's office took legal action, filing a lawsuit for moral damages. A court ruled in favour of the children, awarding them a total of 80,000 rubles in compensation. The prosecutor's office is now monitoring the enforcement of this decision.
The court's ruling ensures financial compensation for the injured child and his brother. The prosecutor's office continues to oversee the case to guarantee compliance. No further incidents of this kind have been reported in recent years.
