In the last 18 months in Britain alone, 4 children have died after having TVs fall on them, according to researchers children under the age of 7 are at most risk.

Recommendations are that free standing sets should be placed on wide stable surface and any secured to a wall should be attached to a solid surface that can support the weight sufficiently. With the majority of sets that are sold being of the flatscreen variety this is becoming much more of an issue and parents should definitely take heed.
