#FurnitureSafetyWeek tip: Tip-overs can happen anywhere, including childcare, churches, hotels, and vacation homes. Ensure furniture with drawers, doors, and/or shelves, and TVs are secured to the wall everywhere your children spend time. #AnchorIt and keep them safe!

#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!

Today's #FurnitureSafetyWeek tip is about ensuring that children and pets are in clear view and not under the recliner before closing it, to prevent crush/pinch injuries, entrapment, and suffocation. Never allow your children to play with the recline features. Relax AND be safe!

Did you know that bunk beds pose several safety hazards? Entrapment and falls can cause serious injury. Today's #FurnitureSafetyWeek tip: Never allow horseplay on bunk beds, and children under 6 should never sleep or play in the top bunk (including vacation rentals!).

Glass coffee and accent tables pose a safety hazard in plain sight. Tables and other furniture with glass (like cabinets with glass doors) should be made with tempered glass. Never allow horseplay around furniture with glass. #FurnitureSafetyWeek

It's #FurnitureSafetyWeek! We are partnering with @AHFANews to promote furniture safety in homes and everywhere children live, play, and vacation. Anchoring furniture is quick, easy, inexpensive, and can save a life! #AnchorIt today. https://t.co/L3KbJr21kY

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 https://t.co/pKGaq9sQ97

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!

IMPORTANT RECALL: plastic furniture anchor kits recalled. 115 incidents of the components breaking and 6 tip-overs happened as a result of the anchor failing to work as intended. PAT recommends using metal anchor kits to anchor all furniture with drawers, doors, and shelves.

Even though the mandatory stability standard for dressers and clothing storage furniture has been in effect for 2 years, dressers may be still for sale that don't meet the standard. Since it only applies to dressers made after 9/1/23, you still need to #Anchorit!

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

On the 2nd anniversary of the effective date of the federal mandatory safety and stability standard for dressers and other clothing storage furniture (STURDY Act), we honor these amazing people who made it happen (and the CPSC, not pictured). Proof that collaboration works!

Recall Alert: This is the 15th recall of a dresser for violation the testing required by the STURDY Act. A refund is offered. Please ensure this, and all other furniture with drawers, doors, and shelves are secured to the wall to prevent injury/death from a tip-over. #AnchorIt

Tip-overs can happen even when you're in the same room as your child. Always Anchor It!
