THE ISSUE:

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger TVs are popular purchases.

Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.

Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” TV. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the TV so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
