"Sturdy Act" Aims to Prevent Furniture Tip-Over Deaths

A law that took effect in September 2023 is intended to prevent furniture from tipping over, which can lead to injuries and even death, particularly when small children or elderly people are involved.

According to the CPSC, furniture tip-overs caused 234 deaths from January 2000 to April 2022. Of these, 199 were children.

The so-called "Sturdy Act" requires furniture makers to implement new safety measures in order to ensure that clothing storage units like dressers are less likely to tip over. Manufacturers will now be required to run additional safety tests.

New furniture will be tested for stability, on carpeting, with loaded drawers, and by simulating the weight of children weighing up to 60 pounds climbing, pulling on and interacting with the furniture. As part of the Sturdy Act, manufacturers will have to provide an anchor kit with new furniture.
