With All of the commercials on an concerning safety in the Home and using non skid carpets in your Home Why does housing still Issue carpets without the non slip backings us months ago we moved into government housing and received sin Small and two Large carpets All without non slip backing. We were told at the time of delivery thai in six months Lime we would have the option of exchanging any items we had received for items of a different style. At that time we assumed that they did not have any carpets with non slip backing since our temporary quarters had the same carpets. So we looked at a few places to Fry to find something to prevent the Carpel from slipping. We were unable to find anything that worked to keep the carpets from slipping on the waned floors we even tried double stick heavy duty tape. Since that time we have had two new families move into our stairwell. Both families received non slip car pets. So we just look the carpet9. Put Tyum in i debasement and decided to Wail until our wailing period to order new carpets was Over. Well it s been six months and i just found out from housing that we can t Exchange carpets or anything else unless they be been deemed unserviceable by an in Spector not having non slip backing is not consid ered unserviceable nol Only do we wish to Exchange the carpels but we also have a cd face table and two end tables that Are hazardous to my Small children. The Coffee table i rectangular with Sharp Corners that Corner protectors cannot be used on and inc end tables have wings thai collapse easily and can easily snap a child s Finger i m not asking for Brand new shiny furniture or i never before used carpet. All i m asking for is some furniture that is Safe. I was told that although i can t Exchange furniture i am allowed to turn in any items that t no longer want. So if you can t help me either i la just have them Nick up the carpels Coffee table and end tables. I la just have to do without even though waxed floors Art just As dangerous to Young children.
