    If you recently bought a new high-def television and moved your old cathode-ray-tube clunker of a set elsewhere, the advice below could help prevent an accident at your home.

Read "Teaming Up to Prevent TV Tip-over" and watch the video here to learn about the anchoring kits you can use to protect your children from serious injury.
