Understand the Furniture Tip-over Hazard
Data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shows, on average, 4 children under the age of 6 die each year when a chest or dresser tips over on them. Add TVs into the equation and the average number of fatalities involving children and clothing storage furniture more than doubles to 9 per year.
From grasping your finger, to the first mouthful of solid food, to pulling up and peering over the railing of the crib, your baby’s first year is full of exploration! Help ensure every expedition is safe – especially the ones they sneak in when your eyes are momentarily elsewhere.
Anchor your furniture at the same time you cover the outlets, lock the cabinets, and gate the stairs.
- Anchor even if you think it won’t tip
- Anchor even if you think they won’t climb
- Anchor even if the furniture is new, and especially if it’s not
