  • ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television.
  • ALWAYS ensure the television does not overhang the edge of the supporting furniture.
  • ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
  • ALWAYS route television cables and those connected to it so they cannot be tripped over, pulled, or snagged.
  • NEVER place a television in an unstable location.
  • NEVER place a television on tall furniture (e.g., cabinets or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to an appropriate support, such as a wall.
