Families are spending more time at home and that has experts worried that more kids can get hurt from furniture and TVs.
A new report from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said tip-over incidents have killed 451 children since 2000. Additionally, 11,000 children have been treated in emergency rooms.
