NEWS:Apre-Big Game "game plan" to prevent TV/furniture tip over deaths and injuries; New research from U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shares lifesaving steps to take once a new TV is brought home

STORY SUMMARY:

More Americans will buy a new TV ahead of the Big Game than any other sporting event during the year. New research from U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) found that the average flat panel or CRT TV can have an impact force of thousands of pounds when it falls onto a child from unanchored furniture.

CPSC has previously reported that one child dies every two weeks and one person is injured every 15 minutes when a TV or a piece of furniture falls onto them.

In an effort to highlight the dangers TV and furniture tip-overs pose to children, CPSC researchers conducted 38 drop tests simulating a tip-over of both CRT and flat screen TVs on top of furniture. New and dramatic video footage of these simulations is now available.

CPSC urges consumers to keep safety in mind when buying a new TV. Avoid tip and fall incidents in the home, ask a sales associate for help selecting anti-tip devices. A secured TV is mounted to the wall or anchored to furniture with straps, brackets, or braces to prevent the TV from sliding. And lastly, remember to keep items that might tempt kids to climb, such as toys and remote controls, from the top of the TV and furniture.

B-ROLL INCLUDES:  TVs on bureaus and bookcases tipping over, an anti-tip device being installed, wall anchoring being installed
