Sony KV-35V42 Child Safety: It Makes A Difference Where Your TV Stands

If you are like most Americans, you have a television in your home.

Many homes, in fact, have more than one television.

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger

televisions are popular purchases and are not always supported on the

proper TV stands.

Sometimes televisions are improperly secured or inappropriately situated on

dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio speakers, chests or carts. As a

result, TV sets may fall over and may cause unnecessary injury.

Tune Into Safety

1

One size does NOT fit all. Use the appropriate furniture that is

large enough to support the weight of your television (and other

electronic components).

2

Use appropriate angle braces, straps and anchors to secure your

furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly into the TV).

3

Carefully read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions and product

safety notices.

4

Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.

5

Avoid placing any items on top of TVs such as VCRs and remotes that may

pique the children’s curiosity.

6

Remember that children can become excited while watching a program and

can potentially push or pull a TV over.

7

Share our safety message on this hidden hazard of the home with your family

and friends. Thank you!
