On average, one child dies every two weeks when a television, piece of furniture or appliance falls on top of them.
No matter how small or tall, how heavy or light – all televisions and furniture, MUST be properly secured to a wall stud and only into solid wood, not the flimsy pieces of backboard of some pieces of furniture.
We’ve gathered a list of devices that can be used to secure furniture safely – remember that not all devices work for all pieces of furniture or in all locations in your household where that furniture might be in a room – choose carefully and appropriately.
