CPSC Demonstrates Deadly Dangers of Furniture and TV Tip-Overs

For young children, the home is a playground, and while many parents childproof to ensure that their home is a safe place, some may not be aware that TVs, furniture and appliances are hidden hazards lurking in every room. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will broadcast a video news release that features a highly dramatic b-roll of several demonstrations of how injuries and deaths associated with furniture and TV tip-overs occur, a powerful testimony from a parent of a victim, and information on how to prevent these tragedies.
