We attempt to do all the pieces in our energy to maintain our youngsters protected. However that isn’t all the time sufficient to cease tragedy. On a June morning in 2014, we found my son Camden trapped underneath a three-drawer dresser in his room, which had fallen on prime of him and minimize off his oxygen. The dresser that killed Camden was simply 30 inches tall; we had chosen it as a result of it was sufficiently small for Camden to make use of to decorate himself. However we didn’t know the dresser simply tipped over when its drawers have been open.
Earlier this 12 months, the U.S. Client Product Security Fee issued a report revealing {that a} little one is handled in an emergency division after a tip-over each 53 minutes. As a founding member of Dad and mom In opposition to Tip-Overs, devoted to stopping future tragedies, I can let you know that tip-overs are simple to stop. Anchoring TVs and furnishings securely to the wall takes lower than 20 minutes.
Don’t take an opportunity on large TVs and heavy furnishings. Anchor it at the moment.
