Print The American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA) has proposed changes to the proposed STURDY Act. STURDY (Stop Tip-Overs of Unstable Risky Dressers on Youth) was recently reintroduced in Congress. STURDY passed unanimously in the House in 2017 before dying in the Senate in 2019. It was reintroduced by Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) in February. The bill would force the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission to adopt a stronger mandatory stability standard for clothing storage units within one year of enactment. The AHFA believes the bill will stall out again unless changes are made. It says the way the bill is currently written would allow the CPSC to revise regulation at any time without industry input. This "fast-track rulemaking" must change, it said.
