“1 child every 2 weeks dies when a TV, furniture or appliance falls on him or her” – Consumer product safety commission

This is the startling statistic from the consumer product safety commission, released during their “Anchor it” campaign. Much like any aspect of your home your TV has to be child proofed if a young child is going to live there. Almost 70% of these deaths were because of unsecured TV’s meaning that over 18 child deaths a year were down to a TV set.

On top of that over 3 children an hour are injured when a TV, furniture or appliance falls on them, meaning that over 25,000 injuries a year are down to improperly secured house hold products. This make proper TV wall mounting a real health and safety issue when child proofing your home.
