It is a lot of Drama, the Cabinets have shattered in the past, but based on the article, it's a few isolated cases in a few countries out of probably millions of cabinets sold. It looks like safety glass, so it shatters into small pieces rather than large shards.

I don't have a detolf, but looking at it, it kind of looks like the glass is not supporting the cabinet in any way, it's just sitting in rails between the base and the top to hold it in place. I'd almost suggest that the ones that have broken have been improperly assembled and somehow a stress load has been applied to the glass that has over time built up and led to the failure of the glass. pure speculation but it's extremely unlikely for glass like this to fail without some kind of outside interference.

and talking about the malm cabinets being unsafe.. we bought some over a decade ago and they came with wall anchors then. I do not understand why there was ever a recall.
