Getting a little off-topic, it's worth noting that the CPSC was going to issue rules that would create enforceable standards for furniture tip-over, but, gee, what a surprise, their 2019 operating plan now says they will instead "continue to work with ASTM voluntary standards committees on the applicable tip-over-related standards and will collaborate with external partners to conduct research, data analysis, and technical work to evaluate the voluntary standard as well as inform rulemaking as appropriate." (seee https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Fiscal%20Year%202019%20Operating%20Plan%20-%20September%2019%202018.pdf?0xhrveG_XwZe7p16RPQa.Fz86KluTv5g page 16). More study is needed, yeah, right.
