The anti-tip kit.
Manufacturer: Hangman Products, Woodland Hills Description:
Anti-tip hardware for heavy furniture Price: $9.95
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that between
8,000 and 10,000 people are treated in emergency rooms each year for
injuries from falling furniture, resulting in on average of six
deaths--often children. Hangman Products has created a kit that attaches
heavy furniture, including desks, dressers and chests, to walls. The kit
includes a 6-inch long, galvanized steel aircraft cable and hardware
capable of holding at least 400 pounds. The kits are available through
mail order companies. Hangman officials expect they will appear in
Lowe's and other retail outlets later this year.
