Heavy furniture can be deadly for young children | Solomon, Berschler, Fabick, Campbell & Thomas, P.C.
According to the National Mutual Insurance Company, a child is seen in the emergency room every 45 minutes in the U.S. because of a television set tipping over on top of him or her. You can significantly reduce the chances of this happening by securing your TV and other large appliances and furnishings to the wall with brackets. Keep heavy items off tables or cabinets, where they might tip over and fall onto your child. Make sure appliances on countertops are set well back out of reach, and do not let electrical cords dangle where your child might pull them.
If your child goes to a daycare, preschool or play date at a friend's home, it is the property owner's responsibility to take the same safety measures, or they may be liable for an injury.
