Preventing furniture tip-over accidents
Creating safer homes together
We all want our homes to be a safe place. When we work together, we can reduce the risk of accidents.
We all want our homes to be a safe place. But in our homes, accidents can put children at risk. By working together, we can help prevent these accidents and make the home a safer place.
The best way to help prevent furniture tip over accidents is to secure furniture to the wall. IKEA urges customers to inspect their IKEA chests of drawers and dressers to ensure that they are securely anchored to the wall using the restraints provided in the packaging.

Little helpers to prevent accidents
Accidents can happen, especially when you have kids. But being prepared can stop the most serious accidents from happening.
Our home safety and child safety products are simple to install and use, and cover every area of the home.
Safety is a key requirement when we develop products, but no one can predict everything that can happen at home.

And accidents often happen when you least expect it.
In VIHALS chest of drawers we introduce our innovative safety feature Anchor and Unlock. It means that the chest of drawers must be anchored to a wall to open more than one drawer at a time. It also acts as a reminder to anchor the chest of drawers to the wall, since this is always the best way to avoid tipping accidents.
