Furniture

Most furniture is safe if used appropriately. But where evidence shows a risk of serious injury or illness related to certain furniture, these products must meet compulsory safety requirements known as mandatory safety standards.

This section contains product safety information on various furniture items and includes information on:

• products that have a mandatory standard or ban
• choosing safe products
• using products safely
• possible safety issues that we are currently monitoring related to furniture.

While we cover the general consumer products listed below, you may also obtain safety information from other authorities with a role in monitoring safety, providing advice and handling complaints about specific types of products.
