THE SIMULATION OF A CHILD BEING CRUSHED BY A TIPPING TV AND DRESSER WAS MEANT TO BE DRAMATIC.YOU BE THE JUDGE. TODAY THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND THE PUBLISHERS OF CONSUMER REPORTS STAGED THE DEMONSTRATION TO HIGHLIGHT THE CONTINUING PROBLEM OF CHILDREN BEING INJURED OR KILLED BY TOPPLING TVS AND FURNITURE. LAST YEAR A TWO YEAR OLD WAS KILLED IN THIS HOME IN HASTINGS, IN 2008 A FOUR YEAR OLD DIED IN AN APARTMENT IN YONKERS. NATIONWIDE THERE HAVE BEEN NEARLY 100 CHILDREN KILLED SINCE THE YEAR 2000. ANET DiFIORE/WESTCHESTER COUNTY D.A. EXPERTS RECOMMEND: PLACING TVS ON STURDY FURNITURE DESIGNED TO HOLD TELEVISIONS. ANCHORING FURNITURE WITH BRACKETS, SCREWS OR BRACES AVOID PLACING TVS ON DRESSERS--AS KIDS OFTEN USE DRAWERS TO CLIMB MAKE SURE THE TV DOES NOT HANG OVER EDGE KEEP CORDS OUT OF REACH KEEP TOYS AND REMOTES AWAY FROM THE TOP OF TV SET. DON MAYS/CONSUMER REPORTS EXACTLY WHERE IT SHOULDN'T BE PLACED. CONSUMER REPORTS WILL SOON START AIRING SAFETY VIDEOS IN STORES SELLING TVS.ALSO MANUFACTURERS WILL VOLUNTARILY SHIP WALL ANCHORS WITH FURNITURE. BUT IT WILL BE UP TO PEOPLE TO USE THEM BECAUSE FAILURE TO DO SO CAN HAVE DEVASTATING RESULTS.
