Today's tip: Ensuring furniture safety outside the home and when traveling.

Furniture safety matters in all the places you and your children live, play, and vacation. Ensuring the other homes where your children spend time, as well as schools, childcare environments, hotels, and rental properties, have their furniture and TVs secured is an important way to prevent a tragic accident outside of your home. We tend to be less attentive, and kids are in an unfamiliar environment outside of their own home, which puts them at greater risk of injury or the unthinkable.

When booking a hotel stay or vacation rental, ask if the furniture and TVs are secured. If they are not, educate them on why it's important and ask them to do so before you book! Consumer demand drives safety! Also, ask if they have checked to see if any of their dressers, bunk beds, cribs, or other furniture has been recalled. CPSC.gov/recalls and www.saferproducts.gov are two easy ways to search for that information!

As parents, childcare providers, and caregivers, we have a responsibility to ensure a safe environment for our children and those in our care; never be afraid to ask or act to uphold that responsibility. It could literally save a life. Together, we can create a safer world!

tip: Before accepting a hand-me-down or purchasing a second-hand item, consider expiration dates (some juvenile products like car seats expire after just a few years!), research recalls (it's illegal to sell a recalled product), beware of potential hazards like lead paint, beware of missing parts that could compromise safety, and always ensure secondhand furniture and TVs are secured to the wall as soon as you bring them into your home.

Today's tip is about ensuring you check that children and pets are in clear view and not under the recliner before closing it, to prevent crush/pinch injuries, entrapment, and suffocation. Never allow your children to play with the recline features, manual or electronic!

Recliners are more popular than ever, and their use has expanded beyond their appeal as a comfortable way to put your feet up! Technological advances make it easier to adjust the amount of recline/leg elevation (often with a remote control or buttons), and, in some cases, the height of the chair for medial lift-assist styles.

This technology can also put young children and pets at greater risk of injury and entrapment. Many people also use recliners to manage medical conditions such as circulatory or respiratory issues, or for sleeping, and may not be able to react as quickly, even with, or sometimes, because of the technology, in the event a pet or child is under the recliner when closing it.

Relax and be safe!

Glass coffee and accent tables are popular, but also pose a safety hazard in plain sight. Make sure that tables and other furniture with glass (like cabinets with glass doors) are made with tempered glass and never allow horse play around glass-top tables or furniture with glass doors to prevent serious injury from cuts and lacerations.

The CPSC is issuing a warning to consumers to stop using these plastic zip-tie furniture anchors made by Cranach due to at least 115 reports of failure of the anchors (they broke) and at least 6 tip-over incidents as a result of that failure. The company did not respond to the CPSC's request for a recall. It's also possible this manufacturer sells the same furniture anchor under a different name/manufacturer.

PAT recommends avoiding the use of all plastic zip-tie style anchors and instead, using an all-metal furniture anchor if possible. "L" brackets are inexpensive and can be found at local hardware and big box home improvement stores. today!

: CPSC is warning consumers to immediately stop using defective plastic tip restraint kits (also referred to as furniture straps) manufactured by Cranach Hardware because the plastic can break or degrade over time.

This is a hidden defect because consumers who purchase and install this product may be under a false sense of security that their furniture is safe from a tip-over incident. CPSC is aware of at least 115 incidents where consumers reported that the defective plastic tip restraint kits broke, including six reported tip-over incidents. The manufacturer, Cranach Hardware, of China, has not responded to a request for an acceptable recall.

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