The new ASTM vol. standard will prevent tip-overs like the one that killed PAT mom Keisha's daughter Chance 11 yrs ago today. Had it been mandatory then, it would have saved Chance and hundreds of others. It will save lives! @HoehnSaricCPSC @FeldmanCPSC, @TrumkaCPSC, @BoyleCPSC

Shane’s death was preventable. Dressers were never tested to account for weight of clothing stored inside. New ASTM voluntary standard has manufacturers stability test their products the way we actually use them.  @HoehnSaricCPSC @FeldmanCPSC, @TrumkaCPSC, @BoyleCPSC @tipovers

Q6 Manufacturers can support the STURDY act #StopTipOvers

[Shane's Foundation @ShanesFndNFP]

Just because your product is sold at an upscale store or child specific store it does not mean it’s safe. Manufacturers need to design safe furniture. #StopTipOvers
