Secure those flat screens!
| Tue, 05-12-2009 - 10:15am |
A recent report shows that nearly 17,000 children were taken to the ER in 2007 after heavy or unstable furniture fell on them. Injuries from falling televisions alone accounted for nearly 47% of that figure. Flat screen TVs have a narrow center of gravity and a lot of weight...often up to 100 pounds. Make sure to secure those consoles!

Wow..Scary!!
Good advice, thanks for posting this Bren.
sadly a lot of people don't think things will fall. I have seen kids in er from tv's, dressers, chairs and other ordinary stuff you would never think could fall.
The worst was a boy that died in vancouver after a vending machine fell on him. Now who would have thought?
