[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj The time for action is NOW. We cannot wait for more precious children needlessly lose their lives to this silent killer. #StopTipOvers #SupportSTURDY #STURDYAct

[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj Talk about it!! Call your local senators and encourage their support on this life saving legislation. Reach out to @tipovers and we can help you navigate this process. #StopTipOvers

[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj The STURDY Act is a legislative solution that will dictate a timely and effective mandatory standard that has been developed through a collaborative effort of safety advocates and select manufacturers to prevent more deaths. #StopTipOvers

[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj Work collaboratively with ALL stakeholders to develop a realistic and effective mandatory standard that protects children. Let's meet at the table and work together to #StopTipOvers, a solution is possible TODAY.

@PreventChildInj My name is Meghan DeLong and my son Conner was involved in a furniture tip over on Mother's Day 2017. I am an MSW and advocate to help #StopTipOvers as a member of @tipovers and founder if @connerslegacy

[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj Our organization provides educational presentations in the community and provides anti-tip devices when requested. One if the greatest barriers we face is lack of knowledge and education about this danger and the NEED for this child proofing practice. #StopTipOvers

[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj Our goal is to provide the education and resources needed to help families keep their children safe. I can never bring back my son, but I can help to protect your children. Real stories, real lives lost...don't let it happen to yours. #StopTipOver

[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj I wish I had an answer for this. I work with many families that struggle with this situation and this is a significant barrier. My recommendation would be to speak with the landlord to have an exclusion for holes made for safety purposes, although this is not always successful.

[Connerslegacy @connerslegacy]

@PreventChildInj Educate yourselves about the dangers of tipovwrs. Many ppl assume that products they buy are safe and therfore don't take preventative measures. My son died from a dresser that MEETS the current voluntary standard! #StopTipovers

[Amazon Public Policy @amazon_policy]

Amazon supports the #SturdyAct, legislation that establishes stronger, mandatory stability standards to help prevent dangerous furniture tip-overs. We stand ready to work with Congress to see this measure enacted. https://t.co/K08AR0Jtt9

.@MassGovernor Charlie Baker has proclaimed June 2 Massachusetts Tip-Over Awareness Day

MA is only the 2nd state to proclaim a furniture Tip-Over Awareness Day, says Kimberly Amato, founder of @MeghansHope who made the request to Gov. Baker #StopTipOvers https://t.co/FVZnVF04oC

[Consumer Federation of America @ConsumerFed]

The STURDY Act would require dressers to meet a strong fed. stability standard—before they’re sold in stores. Consumer groups & @tipovers parent advocates #SupportSTURDY & call on @SouthShoreFurn join them & commit to only selling safe, stable products https://t.co/jCSzVTF2pP

[Consumer Reports Advocacy @CRAdvocacy]

Manufacturers can and must do better. Consumer groups and the @tipovers parents support a strong, timely, and mandatory furniture safety standard that will save lives. It’s time for all furniture manufacturers to do the same. #SupportSTURDY #StopTipOvers https://t.co/EvmxyUjQYr

[Consumer Reports Advocacy @CRAdvocacy]

“The bill has been endorsed by a bipartisan group of senators and representatives, as well as dozens of consumer protection, health, and safety organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics,” CR's Gabe Knight tells @ScaryMommy. #StopTipOvers https://t.co/B2oVj5QshO

[Consumer Reports Advocacy @CRAdvocacy]

Join us and @tipovers parent advocates in urging Congress to pass the STURDY Act! Take action: https://t.co/ESLJ035flu

[William Wallace @WWconsumer]

Ashley is the largest U.S. maker of home furniture. It's extremely successful. Will Ashley Furniture's executives give back to customers and commit to #StopTipOvers? Will @AshleyHomeStore show people that it puts their safety first? We urge Ashley to #SupportSTURDY right away.

[William Wallace @WWconsumer]

Ashley Furniture is the $5 billion parent company of @AshleyHomeStore. Safety advocates and @tipovers parents are urging Ashley to endorse the STURDY Act, a bill to ensure that every company's dressers resist tipping over onto children. A tip-over can injure—or even kill—a child.

[Kids In Danger @kidsindanger]

Manufacturers can and must do better. Consumer groups and the @tipovers parents support a strong, timely, and mandatory furniture safety standard that will save lives. It’s time for all furniture manufacturers to do the same. #SupportSTURDY #StopTipOvers

[Consumer Reports Advocacy @CRAdvocacy]

The STURDY Act would require @USCPSC to create a strong, data-driven mandatory stability standard for dressers. Manufacturers like @WilliamsSonoma already #SupportSTURDY. We are calling on other manufacturers to do the same. #StopTipOvers https://t.co/ESLJ035flu
