Unstable dressers can pose serious risks to kids. STURDY Act would require dressers to meet a strong federal stability standard before they’re sold in stores. Manufacturers like @MyBobs should do their part to #StopTipOvers and #SupportSTURDY. More info: bit.ly/3c8WdfV

Why does the fact today has been proclaimed MA tip-over awareness day matter? So you don't have to visit your child at their grave like I do. Please, listen to Meggie. #AnchorIt #StopTipOvers #SupportSTURDY

“I don't want other people to know what that's like. I don't want them to know my pain. I don't want them to have to bury their children from something that could have been prevented.” —Kimberly Amato, whose 3-year-old twin daughter died when a dresser tipped over. #StopTipOvers

Join Amato @MeghansHope in her fight to prevent tip-over tragedies and see the STURDY Act pass through Congress and make it to the President's desk! #SupportSTURDY act.consumerreports.org/mibjUUj

Our new #AnchorIt PSA features footage of real tip-over incidents provided to CPSC by parents who want others to know about this dangerous hidden home hazard. All of the children affected by these incidents survived.

STURDY has passed the House and is now in the Senate with bi-partisan co-sponsorship! We need you to reach out and let your U.S. Senators know that this is legislation that is important and they should sign on in support! #StopTipovers #supportSTURDY action.consumerreports.org/20200114_sturd…

PAT mom, Kim Amato, has written a wonderful blog to support our call to action to encourage everyone to help us pass STURDY in the U.S. Senate. Protecting children from dangerous products is a bi-partisan effort. #StopTipovers #supportSTURDY meghanshope.org/safety-blog/we…

Four years ago today,Ted McGee died when the dresser in his bedroom fell on him,while we thought he was napping.Nobody heard it fall. His little body absorbed the noise. In memory of Ted,consider doing a random act of kindness today. #visitingtedinheaven #stoptipovers #anchorit

Most people don’t anchor. In fact, from our studies, at least 75% of Americans don’t. They’ve never thought or heard about it. Unfortunately, every 30 minutes a child is injured or dies from furniture tipovers. My child was one of them.

I don’t take it personally anymore. People think differently. Everything else in my home was child/baby proofed. From my knowledge Chance never climbed. I never saw her do it. I was in the restroom when the dresser fell.
