STURDY ACT

STURDY stands for Stop Tip-overs of Unstable, Risky Dressers on Youth; it was signed into law in December 2022 and adopted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in April 2023.  In short, STURDY Act-compliant furniture undergoes rigorous testing to minimize/eliminate the risks of tipping over.
