section:
  (a)  "furniture"  shall  mean  a  clothing  storage   unit   that   is
freestanding  and  at  least twenty-seven inches in height including but
not limited to chests, dressers, armoires, and bureaus; and
  (b) "tip restraint device" shall mean a mechanism that is designed  to
reduce  the  risk  of furniture tipping over. Such mechanism may include
straps, wall brackets, steel cables, or plug and screw sets.
  2.  No  person,  firm,  partnership,  association,  limited  liability
company,  corporation,  or  other entity shall sell or offer to sell new
furniture to a consumer at  retail  unless  the  furniture  conforms  to
standards endorsed or established by the federal Consumer Product Safety
Commission  or,  if  no  such standard exists, a standard established by
ASTM International which requires furniture to contain a  tip  restraint
device  and  carry  a permanent warning label, including but not limited
to, ASTM F2057.
  3.  A  person,  firm,  partnership,  association,  limited   liability
company,  corporation,  or  other  entity  may sell or offer to sell new
furniture that does not meet the requirements in subdivision two of this
section if the furniture sold is outside  the  scope  of  the  standards
prescribed  in subdivision two of this section and contains a compatible
tip restraint device and carries a permanent warning label,  or  if  the
furniture   is   outside  the  scope  of  the  standards  prescribed  in
subdivision two of this section and the retailer: (a) maintains in stock
and  prominently  displays  within  the  store  tip  restraint   devices
available  for  sale  that  are  compatible with such furniture; and (b)
posts a notice, in a conspicuous location which may be  easily  seen  or
reached   by  customers,  that,  in  legible  format,  states:  "Certain
furniture may become unstable and tip over, leading to  possible  injury
or  death.  Tip  restraint devices may prevent tipping of furniture when
properly installed."
  4. Any  person,  firm,  partnership,  association,  limited  liability
company,  corporation,  or other entity that sells or offers to sell new
furniture to a consumer at retail in violation of the provisions of this
section shall be liable for a civil penalty not to exceed  five  hundred
dollars for each violation.
