Katie Elise and Meghan Agnes Act

H.R. 4266, the Katie Elise and Meghan Agnes Act, would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to establish mandatory safety standards for furniture to prevent injuries and deaths caused by tipping or breaking glass. Under this bill, furniture identified as a tipping hazard would have to meet specific stability requirements, and any furniture featuring large glass surfaces would be required to use safety glass. The practical impact for consumers would be an increase in the baseline safety of household items, specifically aimed at protecting children from accidents involving falling dressers or shattered glass panes.
