Shane's Foundation, NFP Shane's Foundation is a non-profit child safety advocate dedicated to preventing deaths and injuries from furniture tip overs.

Shane's Foundation is a leader in providing tip over awareness and education. One child dies every two weeks and more than 22,000 children are treated for injuries per year when a TV, appliance or furniture falls according to the CPSC. Shane's Foundation uses 100% of all donations to create and distribute educational materials about childhood safety to hospitals, countless pediatricians and directly to the public. Shane's Foundation is responsible for bringing tip over dangers to the forefront of many childhood safety organizations. With Shane's Foundations hard work over this past year we are happy to announce Safe Kids tip over message has gone not only state wide and nation wide, but world wide! Shane's Foundation is also delighted to work with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and her Safe Home Coalition on the Tip Over Safety Campaign. Shane's Foundation is continuing to work with the CPSC on tip over safety and guidelines. Shane's Foundation will continue to participate in events such as speaking at physician's symposiums, children's safety advocacy groups, school's, mother's groups, and children's health and safety fairs. Shane's Foundation will also continue to share Shane's story and provide educational materials to the public on children's safety.

Dressers and other clothing storage furniture manufactured after September 1 will meet a mandatory safety requirement, but furniture made before September 1 will remain for…

09/05/2023

Today, we celebrate a bittersweet victory. Today, the long-awaited and lifesaving mandatory safety and stability standard for dressers and other types of clothing storage furniture goes into effect! Our press release is attached!

It is the result of tireless advocacy from bereaved parents for the past 2 decades putting pressure on the CPSC, the furniture industry, and Congress to enact stronger safety standards for dressers to prevent tip-overs like the ones that took the lives of our children.

A few years ago, we began to collaborate with child advocacy groups including Kids In Danger, Consumer Reports Advocacy and Consumer Federation of America, and then invited the furniture industry to the table (particularly IKEA and AHFA - American Home Furnishings Alliance). Together we worked hard to advance the ASTM standard and get the STURDY Act passed by Congress, no easy feat, I assure you! In fact, some said it would be impossible, but never doubt the power of our determination!

It's been far too long in coming, but today is truly a historic day for furniture tip-over prevention. We are over the moon this day has finally come. It didn't save our kids, but it will very likely save yours, and that's why we did it. ❤️
