Learn How to Prevent TV and Furniture Tip-Overs
Did you know that every 45 minutes a child is injured from a TV tipping over?
This is something we can prevent with a few simple steps:
- Secure your TV. Mount flat screen TVs to the wall to reduce the risk of TVs toppling off stands. Or if you have an older tube TV, be sure to place it on a low, stable piece of furniture.
- Secure your furniture. Use brackets, braces or wall straps to secure furniture to the wall. Install stops on dresser drawers to prevent them from being pulled out, making it easier to fall.
Why It’s Important
TVs can tip over if children reach or climb onto furniture, so if a new TV is on your shopping list this holiday, help your little ones stay safe by making sure it’s secure. Prevent accidental tip-overs with TVs already in your home by doing a quick check to see if they’re stable or easy-to-tip.
