We think it is time to raise the spotlight on the safety of AV equipment.
In particular, the dangers of flat screens when not mounted safely. Unfortunately, in recent times we have seen a rise in flat screen related injuries due to a lack of safety precautions.
In July, the BBC reported that a study into the safety of televisions showed a substantial rise in
injuries over the past few years. In 2011, 12,300 children nationwide received emergency treatment for TV-related injuries, compared with 5,455 in 1990, the study said.

Sadly, in a fox news bulletin, it was reported that a one year old was seriously injured from a falling TV in the US.At Peerless-AV we have the ideal solution to prevent such tragic incidents from happening, enabling flat panel screens to be secured safely.
Fitting a full range of LCD and plasma models up to 60", the kit secures the TV to a flat surface or wall, allowing for continued right to left swivel without the potential problem of the TV tipping forwards or falling backwards.
The Stabilis™ kit offers a sense of security with a rigid clamping system that fastens the TV to a variety of furniture pieces, or direct to a wall behind the TV and furniture.
