Unfortunately, serious or fatal injuries occur all too often from what's known as a "tip-over" - when an appliance or piece of furniture is knocked over and transformed into a threat of serious injury or even death in some cases. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, a child dies on average every two weeks from a furniture tip-over incident. So while the furniture in your home, such as a dresser, a bookcase or an armoire, may feel stable and heavy, it could still be a hazard for a young child.
We want you to be able to create as safe a home as possible for your family, which is why we strongly recommend securely anchoring all top-heavy furniture (or any other furniture or items you feel might pose this risk) to the wall using anti-tip hardware for extra stability. To make it even easier for you, we include anti-tip hardware with your new feature purchase, so you can install it right away.
