Avoid Tragic Tip-Overs–Anchor Your Furniture

You are here:

A recent article in the Philadelphia Inquirer exposed the tragic deaths of toddlers from dressers that have tipped over. Approximately 38,000 children are rushed to emergency rooms each year after their curiosity has caused them to climb on something that tips over onto them. Ikea has recalled 27 million dressers offering free anchor kits to all who have purchased such dressers from them. Also beware of televisions as well. Anything that a curios toddler can get onto that will tip is a danger.
