AI Summary
This bill, the Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth Act or the STURDY Act, requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to promulgate a consumer product safety rule for freestanding clothing storage units, such as dressers, bureaus, or chests of drawers, to protect children from tip-over-related death or injury. The rule must include specified testing related to tip-overs and new warning requirements for all such products entering the U.S. market. The CPSC has one year to develop the rule in consultation with various stakeholders, and it can subsequently modify the rule if necessary to further protect children. The bill also requires the rule to be updated if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revises its Clinical Growth Charts.
