🐵 Chester says: Save your bed for snoozing!

Beds — especially bunk beds — are made for sleeping, not jumping. Active play on furniture can lead to falls and other injuries, so Chester is reminding families to save the big jumps and high-energy play for safer spaces. 🛏

🐵 Chester says: Never crawl under reclining chairs!

Recliners can look like tempting places for children to hide and explore, but moving footrests and reclining mechanisms can create serious hazards.

Parents and caregivers can help keep playtime safer by teaching children that the space underneath reclining furniture is always off limits. 🛋

🐵 Chester says: Never play on glass-top tables!

Furniture Safety Week’s newest mascot is helping make important home safety messages easier for children and families to understand. Glass-top tables are not play surfaces, and climbing, jumping or playing on or around them can lead to serious injuries.

Manufacturers, importers and retailers can help extend the reach of these safety messages by directing consumers to trusted furniture safety resources and sharing them through their own websites and social channels.

🐵 Chester says: Save climbing for the monkey bars!

Children are natural explorers, but furniture with drawers, doors or shelves can be tempting places to climb. Anchoring furniture to the wall can help reduce the risk of tip-over accidents and create a safer space for kids to play and explore.

🏠 Furniture Safety Week is about more than awareness — it’s also about continuing to call attention to safety concerns in the marketplace.

Storage units with metal frames and fabric bins continue to be promoted by major e-commerce sites as “fabric dressers” and TV consoles, despite more than two dozen recalls involving products that failed to comply with safety standards. ⚠️

As part of , AHFA is once again sounding the alarm: when used as promoted, these units can pose a tip-over risk.
