What's different about these dressers? They are both in a hotel, and they both tipped over. One of them tipped onto 2 small children. Join us in demanding hotels and rental properties anchor their dressers to the wall to #stoptipovers and #AnchorIt everywhere!
#FurnitureSafetyWeek tip: Even flat screen TVs can tip & cause serious injury or kill a young child. Every 10 pounds of weight is equivalent to dropping a bowling ball on the child. Wall-mount TVs if possible, or #AnchorIt to the wall/furniture it sits on (and the furniture too)
#FurnitureSafetyWeek tip: Before accepting a hand-me-down or purchasing a second-hand item, consider expiration dates, research recalls, beware of potential hazards like lead paint or missing parts that could compromise safety, and always #AnchorIt!
Recall alert: This 10-drawer dresser is the 19th recall for violation of the federal mandatory stability standard under the STURDY Act and poses a tip-over hazard if not anchored to the wall. It was sold at Walmart and a refund is offered. #AnchorIt

This is the 18th dresser recall for violation of the STURDY Act, and the 6th dresser with fabric drawers to be recalled. This tells us that it's not just heavy dressers that tip and this is why ALL furniture with drawers, doors, and shelves needs to be anchored to the wall!
Two years ago today, the STURDY Act went into effect. PAT applauds manufacturers like @IKEAUSA, who have been selling only compliant dressers for over a year and have developed innovative new designs to prevent tip-overs and continues to encourage you to #AnchorIt

We need the CPSC! YOU need the CPSC! What matters more than the safety and well-being of your children? They play an essential role in keeping YOUR family safe.
Anyone who sells dressers/clothing storage furniture MUST ensure that the products comply with all applicable laws. This includes brick and mortar stores, online stores/marketplaces (including secondhand sellers), and even you (yard sales/donation/hand me downs)!

Our heart aches for this family who lost their son Reed to a mirror tip-over. This is a tragic reminder that while much of the focus of tip-overs has been on dressers, other types of furniture in your home also pose a tip-over risk. Take time to #AnchorIt
