I read, with sadness, the article in the July 26 issue of The Vindicator which cited the tragic death of a Struthers girl from a bedroom dresser falling on her.

I applaud the steps being taken by the Mahoning County health department and others to prevent further incidents. Here, at Bolotin Furniture, we recently initiated the SAfer Furniture Everyday (SAFE) campaign to reduce both deaths and injuries from furniture tipping over.

This campaign includes providing furniture anti-tipping restraints free to anybody who comes into the store and asks for them. Restraints will be provided both for new furniture purchased elsewhere and existing furniture already in the home. If we deliver furniture that needs anti-tipping restraints, we will install them at no charge.

I join The Vindicator in urging all readers, especially those with young children often in the home, to take all safety precautions and prevent a repeat of this tragedy.
