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

a

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

a

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.

a

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!

a

The consumer electronics industry 

is committed to making home entertainment 

enjoyable and safe.

a

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

a

One size does NOT fit all! Use appropriate furniture large 

enough to support the weight of your TV (and other electronic 
components).

a

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

a

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

a

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

a

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

a

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

a

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