Ikea dresser recall

Ikea is relaunching a recall of 17.3 million chests and dressers in the U.S. after the death of an eighth child. The units of recalled chests and dressers include: Malm 3-drawer, 4-drawer, 5-drawer and three 6-drawer models and other children’s and adult chests and dressers, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recalled dressers are unstable if not anchored to a wall. The company is offering refunds or free wall-anchoring kits to remedy the problem.

Anti-smoking ads

WASHINGTON

Big Tobacco companies return to TV this weekend, decades after they were banned from the airwaves.

The tobacco industry is under court order to advertise the deadly effects of smoking. A judge ruled more than a decade ago that the companies had misled the public about the dangers of cigarettes. It’s the first time the industry has had to publicize the health hazards of cigarettes, which cause more than 480,000 deaths each year in the U.S.

But years of legal pushback have blunted the message of the ads. And experts say the campaign’s focus on network TV and newspapers means the ads will not be seen by people when they are young and most likely to begin smoking.

Lowe’s profit

MOORESVILLE, N.C.

Lowe’s profit more than doubled in the third quarter as Americans along the Gulf Coast loaded up with material to repair the damage delivered by a pair of hurricanes.

The company said sales related to hurricanes Irma and Harvey reached $200 million in the quarter, pushing revenue to $16.77 billion. That’s better than the $16.57 billion Wall Street was looking for and it topped last year’s revenue of $15.74 billion.

Net income was $872 million, or $1.05 per share.
