PEC Promotes National TV Safety Day; Offers Lock Kit Giveaway

ORLANDO, Fla. - Jan. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Protective Enclosures Company (PEC), the leading US manufacturer of secure weatherproof TV and digital display enclosures, is joining the national campaign to promote awareness for National TV Safety Day. A fitting date, National TV Safety Day will occur on January 31st, 2015, the day before communities gather around TVs on Super Bowl Sunday to watch the big game. Startling statistics that a child dies every three weeks as the result of a TV tip-over accident and every 45 minutes a child is injured by a TV tipping over (The Dangers of TV Tip-Overs) have prompted many organizations to support National TV Safety Day, which was created by CEA and Safe Kids Worldwide.

Though the mission at PEC is to protect electronic investments, PEC’s weatherproof TV enclosures are also safety-minded for use in schools and homes. Designed with rounded corners, these indoor and outdoor TV cases help prevent scratches and injuries that may otherwise result from sharp TV or enclosure edges. These units cover electronic input and export openings as well, keeping them out of reach of kids. Whether using an enclosure or not, PEC also suggests customers carefully mount TVs in their indoor or outdoor application, as mounting is the most effective way to keep children from pulling down TVs.

PEC strongly encourages the use of a security lock kit when mounting TVs or enclosures. These lock kits are designed to further secure the TV or enclosure to the mount. In addition to spreading the word about National TV Safety Day via the company’s website, social media channels and newsletters, PEC is offering shoppers a free lock kit with a The TV Shield purchase starting January 27th through January 31st, 2015.  PEC takes the responsibility of helping to raise awareness about TV tip-overs very seriously and encourages parents to take the extra measures needed to keep their families safe.
