We all want to keep our youngsters safe and this dangerous and even deadly situation can be easily protected by Securing televisions and tall or unstable furniture to wall studs or floors with appropriate anchoring devices.
Children love to explore their environment, and through climbing, they can find ways to access out-of-reach items or toys. Free-standing furniture, appliances, and televisions are often the right height to climb on, but are unstable and can easily topple, causing serious injuries or even death if a child is underneath.
On average, two children die each year and hundreds more injured because of toppling furniture and televisions. Children under 10 years old are most at risk, and more than half of tip-over injuries involve a child under 4 years old.
So take a few moment to protect your home and your children from these preventable situations. Even if you do not have children in your home, what about visiting grandchildren, neighboring children. Perhaps even pets that like to climb or jump on things. These safety measures are affordable for everyone.
