@WaterBeadLady brought us all on this journey.

[William Wallace @WWconsumer]

With the news that @amazon @Walmart @Target @Etsy @AliExpress_EN are stopping the sale of children's water bead toys—shout out to @WaterBeadLady's Ashley Haugen, who has led the way in connecting parents and bringing the dangers of water beads to light. https://t.co/Ha54e7XI5M

[Kids In Danger @kidsindanger]

In a big win for safety, @amazon, @Walmart, and @Target announced that they will ban the sale of water beads that are marketed to children. @Etsy and @AliExpress_EN stated they will prohibit the sale of water beads entirely. Learn more in our new blog: https://t.co/DEk7KArYdu

[William Wallace @WWconsumer]

Sign the @ConsumerReports-@CRAdvocacy petition to call on the @USCPSC to ban water beads, or at least set strong limits on them so they can’t be sold as children’s products. Water beads can be deadly, and they send thousands of people to the ER every year. https://t.co/oQkrwx48jp

Finally!

[Kids In Danger @kidsindanger]

Victory for families: @USCPSC will adopt the @ASTMIntl furniture stability standard as a mandatory rule. Dressers will now be safer than ever before to prevent tip-overs. Thnx to @tipovers for their advocacy. Read our statement w/ @ConsumerFed: https://t.co/stPBhg0KLr

Ever wonder about how design can make a product safer or how to advocate when you see a product that isn’t safe? Join @PreventChildInj and @MidwestInjury today for a webinar with leaders in the field of furniture tip over prevention #AnchorIt #StopTipOvers

[ParentsAgainstTipovers @tipovers]

@PreventChildInj A hole in the wall can be repaired, but a hole in your heart is forever. Currently, many states do not have laws protecting renters from putting holes in their wall solely for child safety purposes. Talk to your landlord and explain the need. #StopTipOvers

[Consumer Federation of America @ConsumerFed]

Nearly 100 consumer, health & labor orgs call on the Senate Commerce Committee to quickly approve Mary Boyle to @USCPSC to ensure that the agency can effectively protect families from hazardous products. #BoyleforCPSC @commercedems @SenateCommerce

Good luck, Alex!

[Kids In Danger @kidsindanger]

Congratulations to Alex Hoehn-Saric, who was confirmed by the Senate last night to be commissioner and chair of the @USCPSC. KID looks forward to working with him to protect children from dangerous products.

[William Wallace @WWconsumer]

"It’s been 10 months since the CPSC’s warning. Clearly, the steps [Boppy] is taking for safety are insufficient. Infants continue to die, and every day that passes without stronger action is another day a terrible tragedy could happen." @ConsumerReports https://t.co/Phyk1QsKzJ

[UTHSC PEM Fellowship @UTHSC_PEM]

Please join us in advocating for child injury prevention. Today we want to focus on the inherent dangers of high-powered magnets. #MagnetSafety #T4CIP @CIRPatNCH @DabblingDoc @UTHSCPediatrics

[Kids In Danger @kidsindanger]

@CIRPatNCH A2: Infants, children & teens are most at risk for injury from high-powered magnets. Toddlers often put small, shiny objects in their mouths & teens have been known to use the small magnets to mimic body jewelry. Read our report on magnets: https://t.co/iAz4uUepPR #MagnetSafety

[Bowel Sounds: The Pediatric GI Podcast @bowelsounds]

Today is the #T4CIP Day of Action on #MagnetSafety. High-powered magnets can cause serious injury to kids when swallowed.

@Dr_BryanRudolph has been leading @NASPGHAN's advocacy efforts on magnet safety for years. 💪

Listen to his episode on the topic: https://t.co/TGIL00kTqe

[Nancy Cowles @NaCowles]

Time for a strong standard.

[Rachel Rabkin Peachman @RachelPeachman]

Nearly half of the dressers we tested failed our toughest tip-over test. Companies must do more to make dressers more stable so that more children don't get hurt. Lives depend on it. @ConsumerReports @CRAdvocacy @tipovers
