WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set that falls or
is unintentionally pulled down can and cause, serious personal injury or death.
Most such injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple
precautions including:
- Use cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television
set.
- Only use furniture that can safely support the television set and equip the
television set with a set of safety straps or similar products to anchor the
television set to a wall or a similarly immovable support.
- Ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting
furniture.
- Do not place the television set on tall furniture (for example, on top of
cupboards or bookcases) If you decide you must place the television set on tall
furniture, absolutely do not do so without anchoring BOTH the furniture AND
the television set to a wall or a similarly immovable support.
- Do not place the television set on cloth or other materials situated between
the base of the television set and the supporting furniture.
- Educate and remind children about the dangers of climbing on on or near
any furniture on which the television is situated to reach the television set or its
controls or for any other reason.
Please use all these same precautions with any other television set(s) in your home.
