Bill Summary
AN ACT To require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to promulgate a consumer product safety rule for free- standing clothing storage units to protect children from tip-over related death or injury, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the STURDY Act (Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth Act), requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to promulgate a consumer product safety standard for free-standing clothing storage units to protect children up to 72 months of age from tip-over-related death or injury. The standard must include tests that simulate the weight of children up to 60 pounds and account for factors like placement on carpeted surfaces, drawers with items, and dynamic force. The CPSC can also adopt an existing voluntary standard if it meets the requirements of the bill. The bill allows for subsequent rulemaking to modify the standard or include additional provisions if the CPSC determines it is necessary to protect children.
