Child Safety

It Makes A Difference
Where Your TV Stands

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy
your new TV, keep these safety tips in mind:

The Issue

If you are like most consumers, you have a TV in your home.
Many homes, in fact, have more than one TV.

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing
trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases; however, they
are not always supported on the proper TV stands.

Sometimes TVs are improperly secured or inappropriately
situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, audio
speakers, chests, or carts. As a result, TVs may fall over,
causing unnecessary injury.

Toshiba Cares!

 The consumer electronics industry

is committed to making home

entertainment enjoyable and safe.

 The Consumer Electronics

Association formed the Home

Entertainment Support Safety

Committee, comprised of TV and
consumer electronics furniture

manufacturers, to advocate

children’s safety and educate

consumers and their families about

television safety.

Tune Into Safety

 One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate

furniture large enough to support the weight of your

TV (and other electronic components).

Use appropriate angle braces, straps, and anchors to secure
your furniture to the wall (but never screw anything directly
into the TV).

Carefully read and understand the other enclosed
instructions for proper use of this product.

Do not allow children to climb on or play with furniture
and TVs.

Avoid placing any item on top of your TV (such as a VCR,
remote control, or toy) that a curious child may reach for.

Remember that children can become excited while watching
a program and can potentially push or pull a TV over.

Share our safety message about this hidden hazard of the
home with your family and friends. Thank you!
