SANUS and Safe Kids Worldwide
For
many Americans, a flat panel TV is a great way to enjoy family time and
entertainment. However, most parents are unaware of the
safety risks that flat panel TVs pose for kids. Due to increasing size
and new ultra thin designs, today’s flat panel TVs can easily tip over
when bumped or pulled, toppling off of furniture and causing injury or
even death.
Bringing
this risk to the forefront, SANUS, the leading designer and
manufacturer of flat panel TV wall mounts, has partnered with
Safe Kids Worldwide. By educating consumers on the risk of unsecured
flat panel TV’s, SANUS and Safe Kids Worldwide offer safe solutions for
families across the nation by reducing TV tip-over related injuries and
fatalities.
A 2011 US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report on flat panel TV safety revealed:
·
A child is killed every three weeks from an unsecured TV
·
Every 45 minutes a child visits an emergency room due to a TV tip-over related injury
·
Between 2000 and 2011, 215 fatalities have resulted from TV tip-over
·
An estimated 17,000 people each year, the majority of which are children, are treated for injuries from TV tip-overs
·
Reported cases have increased almost 25% from 2006 to 2010, and over the last 10 years, injuries have increased by 31%
