SANUS and Safe Kids Worldwide TV Safety Initiative + a Giveaway!

Most households in North America have at least one TV in the home and a majority of those are flat panel TVs.  What we may not associate these TVs with is child safety and the risks these TV's pose for kids.


In order to provide awareness of this safety issue, SANUS, the leading designer and manufacturer of flat panel TV wall mounts, has partnered with Safe Kids Worldwide to educate consumers of the risks of unsecured flat panel TVs.  They are offering safe solutions for families by reducing TV tip-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%



SANUS TV Mounting:
  • Easy 1, 2, 3 installation with a wall template to ensure even placement
  • Online video walk-through of simple installation available at any time
  • No additional tools necessary – all required installation hardware is included in package
  • Live customer support available 6 days a week
