Consumer and Parent Groups Request Information From Companies About Compliance with Furniture Law

CFA and other consumer and parent advocacy groups sent open letters to the furniture industry regarding the mandatory standard for clothing storage unit stability, which took effect on September 1, 2023. The groups urge the industry to prioritize children’s safety. The groups requested information about how companies are educating their employees about the new law, displaying complaint floor models, and informing consumers about anti-tip restraints. The groups also requested information about when companies will commit to selling only furniture that is complaint with the federal safety standard.
