MUCH MARK. WELL A LOT OF
FAMILIES ARE STUCK AT HOME,

THERE ARE DANGERS ALL
AROUND US, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG
CHILDREN THEIR PINT RISK OF
BEING HIT BY FURNITURE EVEN
TIPPING TELEVISIONS. A NEW PSA
FROM THE CONSUMER PRODUCT
SAFETY COMMISSION IS ADDRESSING
A COMMON MISCONCEPTION.

DIRECTOR JOSEPH MARTY AK AND
PARENT ALYSSA CARLSON. THANK
YOU ALL FOR JOINING US TODAY.
>> THANKS FOR
HAVING US.
>>LAUREN VERNO: I DON’T KNOW
ANY. THANK YOU LIZ I WANT TO I
WANT TO BRING YOU IN THE
CONVERSATION BECAUSE YOU HAD AN
INSTANCE THAT HAPPENED WITH YOU
WITH YOUR NANNY,
AND IT JUST LIKE MADE ME
REMEMBER YOU KNOW MY LITTLE
SIDE I REMEMBER HE WAS A PLACE
WHERE HE PLAYED AND WE HAD A
BIG MIRROR ON THE WALL
AND ERA CAME CRASHING DOWN
LUCKILY, IT WASN’T A PLACE THAT
HE HE WAS HE WASN’T THERE AT
THE TIME, BUT HE VERY WELL
COULD HAVE BEEN AND IT’S JUST
THAT WHAT IF THAT NO PARENT
WANTS TO HAVE TO FACE.
>> IT IS MELANIE AND WHAT
HAPPENED TO ME AS I WAS
ACTUALLY AT WORK IN OUR NANNY
HAD PUT
OUR BABY WELL, SHE WAS 3 AT THE
TIME 3 AND A HALF BUT DOWN FOR
A
NAP AND ALL THE SET IN ABOUT 20
MINUTES LATER SHE HEARD A BIG
GUY AND SHE HEARD HEIRESS
CRYING AND SHE WHEN SHE WENT TO
OPEN THE DOOR SHE FOUND HER
UNDER THE DRESSER AND WHAT DID
HAPPEN WAS. SHE SAW SOMETHING ON TOP OF THAT DRESSER THAT SHE WANTED TO REACH FOR AND SHE HAD
LEARNED TO OPEN THE DOORS,
THE DRAWERS OF THE DRESSER AND
CLIMB UP THAT DRESSER TO REACH
FOR THAT
ITEM AND SHE HAD NEVER BEEN A
CLIMBER BEFORE SHE HAD NEVER
DONE THIS UNTIL THEN
AND SO. WE LATER WENT
BACK AND WATCHED THE NANNY CAM
AND SAW THE VIDEO OF IT AND IT
WAS CHILLING IT TOOK ME DAYS
BEFORE I COULD ACTUALLY TALK
ABOUT IT READ AND WATCH THAT
VIDEO AGAIN BECAUSE I FELT SO
GUILTY AND YOU NEVER WANT TO
TAKE YOUR EYES OFF OF THEM, I
MEAN SO WHEN THEY’RE LITTLE WE
WATCH THEM SO
MUCH BUT.
>> THAT IS A BIT OF A FOR
PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS THAT IF
THEY HAVE THEIR EYES ON THEIR
CHILD ALL THE TIME.
>>LAUREN VERNO: THAT THEY CAN
PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING
JUST TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THAT.
>> YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
WE JUST DID
A SURVEY, MANY PARENTS AND
CAREGIVERS SAID I DON’T NEED TO
THANK THE FRIENDSHIP BECAUSE I
WATCH MY KIDS AND IT WASN’T
JUST SAW IN THE STATEMENT WE
DID IN THE LISTEN STORY.
IT HAPPENS IN
A FLASH. EVEN IF YOU’RE THERE
IN THE ROOM YOU CAN’T GET OUT
OF THERE FAST ENOUGH TO CATCH
THE TV AND
IN PERSON FURNITURE LOAN, IF
THEY’RE NOT IN THE ROOM, BUT
YOU’RE JUST WATCHING ON MANY
YOU SO IT’S SO IMPORTANT FOR
PARENTS TO TAKE JUST A FEW
MINUTES AND SAYS THE COUPLE
DOLLARS TOGETHER. ANCHOR KIDS
WERE IN
A RECORD TO QUOTE TO THE TV OR
TO THE FURNITURE INTO
THE WALL. IT’S $5 ON AVERAGE IS
5 MINUTES. I CAN SAVE A LIFE
TERM.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YOU KNOW IT’S
INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY EVEN
COME WITH MANY OF THE THINGS
THAT YOU PURCHASE AND PARENTS
STILL WANT PUT
THEM ON IS THERE ANYTHING THAT
YOU NEED TO KNOW LIKE ABOUT THE
WEIGHT OF AN ITEM WHEN YOU NEED
IT WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE
SOMETHING SUPER LIGHT DO NOT
NEED TO ANCHOR IT.
>> YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
SOME OF THEM COME WITH THE
FURNITURE, THE TV ITSELF AND IF
IT DOESN’T I CAN ORDER IT ONLINE RECENTLY OR AT YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD HARDWARE STORE AND
A HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTER.
SO IT’S VERY EASY TO GET ONE OF
THESE KIDS.
IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO USE THIS
WE RECOMMEND AT LEAST TO PUT
THE TV LOWER ON A SOLID BASE
AND PUSHING BACK ON THE SHELF
AS FAR AS YOU CAN AND AS ALYSSA
POINTED OUT,
YOU DON’T WANT TO HAVE ANYTHING
THAT’S GOING TO ATTRACT THE
CHILD TO CLIMB UP ON
THE FURNITURE. SO DON’T TEMPT
THE TODDLER DON’T PUT TOYS
DON’T THINK REMOTE CONTROL ON
THE TV OR UP IN THE BOOKCASE
AND IF YOU’RE GETTING A
NEW TV. YOU CAN RECYCLE THE OLD
ONE GOES OUT TO RECYCLING
CENTER TERRIFIC. BUT IF YOU’RE
GOING TO PUT IT INTO ANOTHER
ROOM FOR THE KIDS REMEMBER THE
DANGER OF TIP OVER TRAVELS WITH
THE TV INTO THE OTHER ROOM AND
NEEDS TO BE ANCHORED IN THAT
ROOM TOO.
>>LAUREN VERNO: YEAH, WE CAN’T
BE LAX ON THE STUFF ALYSSA BAIT
YOUR CHILD’S OKAY RIGHT.
>> YES, SHE WAS OK SHE HAD HER
LITTLE FOOT 10 AND UNDER THERE,
BUT SHE WAS ABLE TO GET IT OUT
UNDER
CREDITS AND WAS ACTUALLY FINE
SHE DIDN’T HAVE ANY SCRAPE
CERTAIN OR EVEN A BREW SPOT.
WE KNEW THAT WE WERE LUCKY IN
THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AND
THE FUNNY THING SHE WAS 3 AND A
HALF SOMETIMES KIDS ARE
STARTING TO CLIMB A YEAR AND A
HALF AND THAT’S WHAT PEOPLE DO
THIS BUT THE BEST ADVICE IS AS SOON AS YOU GET THAT DRESS ARE SEEN AS YOU FIND OUT YOU’RE
PREGNANT AND YOU PUT YOUR
NURSERY TOGETHER GO AROUND YOUR
HOUSE FOR YOUR FURNITURE AND IF
YOU’RE A CAREGIVER AND
GRANDPARENTS, YOU’RE WATCHING
CHILDREN. DO IT IN YOUR HOME AS
BECAUSE.
BECAUSE. >>LAUREN VERNO: YOU JUST NEVER KNOW, YEAH, THE DANGER TRAVELS
WITH WHATEVER DEVICE THAT IS
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU SO MUCH
