Furniture Tipping Injury Statistics Infographic and Analysis

12

As parents, we are constantly tasked with keeping our children out of harm’s way. We sound like broken records, reminding them not to talk strangers, telling them not to play in the street, and making sure they are protected from any potential threats. However, most of us seem to overlook a threat right in our own homes that affects more than 70 children per day.

That threat is furniture. Having improperly secured furniture and TV’s puts your child at risk every single day. In fact, furniture tipping accidents are a growing concern as it hospitalizes hundreds of children each year. However, the good news is that these accidents can be preventable with proper measure and education.

As TV models are getting thinner and lighter they pose less of a threat, however, when an older and heavier model is replaced with the new one, some people make use of their old TV’s in other rooms and are less likely to secure them. Shockingly, 3 out of 4 parents are unlikely to be aware of the potential dangers of an improperly secured TV, and it is important to know that this is the most common type of furniture tipping accident, which can result in abdominal trauma and brain injuries.

Nobody should have to lose their child or see them hurt. There are simple solutions to eradicate this common furniture tipping hazard from your home. These solutions include, supervising children in rooms in which you know furniture is unsecured, keepings cords and cables out of reach, using the proper fixtures to mount furniture, TVs, and more.

Again, the best thing you can do is to educate yourself on this issue to be more mindful when it comes to the furniture in your home. For more information, refer to the infographic below.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the structure of your website?

Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
