Kids killed every year by tip-over TVs that can be fixed with a $20 anchor

Sunday's Super Bowl LVI may be just the excuse some people need to splurge on a new television. But parents looking for a bigger screen or better picture quality may not recognize the tip-over risk for TVs, a hazard that can be dangerous — and sometimes deadly — for children. The good news? There's a relatively simple and inexpensive fix.
Every year, hospital emergency rooms treat an estimated 22,500 people injured by televisions, furniture and appliances tipping over, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Between 2000 and 2020, there were 581 tip-over deaths, most of them kids. Of the 472 child fatalities, 71% involved a television, the CPSC said in a report last week.
