SANUS and Safe Kids Worldwide Launch TV Safety Initiative 

Is Your TV Secure?

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.                                                                                     

SANUS & Safe Kids Worldwide

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.

The Statistics

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%

  1. love that this helps improve the safety of my home for my little girl. Such a simple solution to prevent a horrible accident.

  2. love that this is helping to keep my little safer. It is such a small solution to what could be an extremely devastating accident in our own home. Great product.

  3. That it’s a universal mount! We don’t have to have a specific sized TV to fit it.. anywhere between 32″ to 60″

  4. I love that it supports 130 lbs! But I think my husbands favorite feature would be the in-arm cable management channel.

  5. I like that it can hold up to 130 pounds. I would hate for my expensive TV to fall and be smashed by a weaker stand. Thank you.

  6. I love that it has Universal mounting pattern to fit virtually any 32″60″ flat-panel TV. Love it!
