Is the concept of having personal responsibility - as a parent for the safety of your children - dead?
IKEA provides equipment for fastening furniture to the wall with all their even slightly high furniture and advises that it MUST be used. I even got the fasteners with a 1.5-foot tall TV stand which is literally physically impossible to topple over.
I have seen "solid" dressers also fall over. It's a matter of physics - if a drawer near the top is full and heavy and gets pulled out, it changes the centre of gravity, and makes it more likely that the force of, say, a child climbing will cause it to topple.
This episode is just complete BS that appeals to emotion to push an unrelated agenda.
