BREAKING NEWS: Health Canada (the equivalent of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission) has adopted the mandatory standard under the STURDY Act (ASTM F2053-23) as the mandatory safety and testing standard in Canada, in part thanks to comments submitted by PAT (and Kim, the founder of Meghan's Hope) in support of this improvement in their safety standard for dressers and clothing storage furniture.

We are thrilled with this improvement in safety for Canada's most vulnerable citizens. We are also grateful that our voices and stories continue to be heard and have an impact in creating safer dressers and other clothing storage furniture, and protecting kids from tip-overs like the ones that stole our children from us.

Thank you, Health Canada!

WARNING: The CPSC has issued a warning for consumers to stop using KareKub plastic furniture anchors/tip-restraints due to reported incidents of failure to prevent a tip-over and breakage, and potential for serious injury or death. If you have these anchors on your furniture please replace them with a metal L-bracket or other non-plastic anchor.
Why not a recall? If the manufacturer refuses to recall a product, the CPSC can only issue a warning to consumers.
PAT recommends you choose furniture anchors/anti-tip devices that are made by brands you recognize that either make other childproofing products and follow all applicable safety standards (including ASTM F3096), such as Safety 1st or Hangman, or that specialize in anti-tip devices like Quakehold. And always secure all furniture with drawers, doors, and shelves to the wall, no matter how much they weigh or how "safe" you think it is! today.

CPSC Warns Consumers to Immediately Stop Using KareKlub Plastic Tip Restraint Kits Due to Tip-Over Hazard; Risk of Serious Injury and Death

The plastic can break or degrade, posing tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in serious injuries or death to children or elderly consumers interacting with furniture that is secured to the wall with the defective plastic tip restraints.

CPSC testing revealed that these defective plastic tip restraints failed to meet the requirements of ASTM F3096-23, the industry standard for tip restraints. CPSC is aware of at least 15 incidents where consumers reported that the defective plastic tip restraints broke.

CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using these defective plastic tip restraints, remove them from furniture and dispose of them. Consumers should secure their furniture with tip restraints that are compliant with industry standard ASTM F3096-23.
