This weekend in particular, millions will be gathering in living rooms across the country to watch the Big Game.

It’s no coincidence that the day before the game is National TV Safety Day. It’s a great time to raise awareness about TV tip-over accidents and educate homeowners about securing their TVs.

Even with TVs becoming lighter and slimmer, TV tip-overs are still an issue.
