Have you ever experienced a furniture tip-over?

[Consumer Reports]   It’s an unexpected danger. You might not see it coming at all. But someone in the U.S. is injured every 17 minutes by a furniture, television, or appliance tip-over, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Between 2000 and 2016, 195 deaths were reported related to dressers or clothing storage units falling on top of people. And it’s especially dangerous for small children. Harper Fried, a 3-year-old, was playing in her bedroom in 2016 when she climbed up on a dresser and it tipped over on top of her, killing her almost immediately. Her parents Aaron and Erica have set out on a mission to prevent these tragedies from happening to other families, and now Consumer Reports members are joining in as well.
