Mount Your TV-Think of the Children!

[admin]

Sanus has an interesting PR campaign going on this week. The company is exposing a little-known safety concern with flat panel TVs: They can fall on your kids. Flat Panel TVs are cool, but when your toddler of yesteryear used the ole' 32" CRT o pull himself up into a standing position there was no danger of the thing falling on top of him... it weighed 150 pounds (and wouldn't budge). Not so with today's flat panels, which can tend to be tipsy and, on average, weigh anywhere from 30-60 pounds (or more, of course) depending on the size.

Good info. I have a 20 month old son who is in his prime of messing with things he shouldn't. Thanks

Statistically insignificant doesn't mean insignificant. It's an important issue.

It is pretty common, but more importantly, totally preventable. Either wall mount or get safety straps.
