Toppling furniture safety consultation

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) sought submissions on proposed policy options to help reduce the risk of death and injury associated with toppling furniture.

A consultation paper from the ACCC has been released about the 3 well understood concepts that are important to reducing the risk of injury associated with toppling furniture:

  • product design
  • anchoring
  • consumer education.

Responses are helping the ACCC determine a preferred regulatory option.

Submissions have closed.
