What Common Household Item is Likely To Injure or KILL Your Children

I just found out this item has injured almost 200,000 CHILDREN in the U.S. in the past two decades and killed 215! It's probably something you use EVERYDAY!

According to a new study children are being put at risk everyday in American households by their TV's!

Now I know TV can be bad for kids, especially if they sit around all day engrossed in programming or video games, but did you know that they could actually KILL your kid?!

Of course both old fashioned, heavy TVs and modern flat-screens can hurt your kids, but it seems the MODERN TVs are more LIKELY to fall and potentially KILL them!

Injury rates actually DOUBLED between 1990 and 2011 which is when America began buying flat screens as opposed to the BIG cabinet style.

Kate Carr of Safe Kids Worldwide says,

Every three weeks a child dies, from a tipped-over TV.

One suggestion to keep your family safe is a TV strap like the ones pictured below. You can purchase online or at your local electronics store.
