[Consumer Reports]   Dear Friend, Today, a new national safety law went into effect that will help save countless children from serious injury or death – and many of you played a key role in making this happen! After Sept. 1, any new dresser, chest or clothing storage furniture manufactured to be sold in the U.S. must meet strong stability standards – and come with an anchoring kit – to prevent deadly furniture tip-overs that have killed at least 200 children in the past decade, and injured thousands of others each year (today's CBS Mornings has [dramatic video]( of one incident). The [STURDY Act]( a long time coming — the result of a decade of work by parent advocates, in-depth [investigative reporting]( by Consumer Reports, and relentless pressure by tens of thousands of members like you who sent emails and made phone calls to Congress to pass this law. [Take a moment to see your advocacy in action by watching our short video.]( This new law will undoubtedly help save lives. But CR safety experts want parents and caregivers to be aware that the new rules apply only to new furniture made after Sept. 1. That means dressers, chests, armoires and similar products can still be sold in stores and online, even if they do not comply with the new federal standard. Consumer Reports is calling on furniture makers and retailers to immediately stop selling products that don’t meet this new standard. In the meantime, we urge anyone shopping for furniture to take the following steps: - Ask the retailer or manufacturer when the dresser was made and if it is compliant with the new STURDY Act requirements. If they are unsure or can’t answer, take a pass. - Make sure the dresser comes with an anchor kit – and use it. The new law requires that all dressers covered under the rule be sold with one, but some retailers have already been providing them anyway. - The new rules only apply to dressers and other clothing storage furniture, not bookshelves, entertainment centers, televisions, or tables, all of which could also potentially pose tip-over risks. So for anyone with small kids in the house, the good advice remains, when in doubt, anchor it. [CR has a video tutorial that can teach you how.]( Thank you again for all you do to make products on the marketplace as safe as possible. We’re also working to get Red Dye No. 3, a known carcinogen, out of food that is marketed to kids. If you haven’t yet, [please add your name to our petition]( to the FDA to ban this toxic additive from all food products (if you’ve already signed, you can still share it with others or on social media).  [Sign the petition](  And please, forward this email to friends and family so they can take the necessary steps to protect their children!
