Oh...have no fear. It is on the way after they get those pesky guns outlawed. They are / have been working on knife control over in England now that the guns are all but gone....

We need common sense TV legislation.....

The rate of child injury from falling televisions has increased by 95% over the past 22 years, researchers found. From 1990 to 2011, the average annual injury rate attributable to televisions in children was 2.43 per 10,000 children younger than 18, according to Gary Smith, MD, of the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and colleagues.

Among children younger than 5, the number of injuries related to falling televisions increased by 125.5% over the 22 years, equivalent to an overall rate increase of 95.3%, they wrote online in the journal Pediatrics. The rate of injuries associated with a TV falling from a dresser, bureau, chest of drawers, or armoire rose by a significant 344.1% during the study period, the authors noted.

"Despite the relatively low documentation ... of the type of furniture on which falling TVs were placed, the frequency of dressers/ bureaus/chests of drawers/armoires being used to support TVs (almost half of the cases in this study) is alarming," they wrote. "As noted in previous studies, children may pull dresser drawers open to use as stairs to help them reach the TV, potentially pulling both the dresser and TV over onto themselves."

Children were most commonly injured in the head and neck (63.3%), followed by the lower extremities (21.5%). Head and neck injuries were associated with a 36% increased likelihood of hospital admission (95% CI 1.03-1.80) compared with other areas of bodily injury.

People in Britain will soon be forced to eat with their hands. Oh, wait, people use their hands to choke and beat people to death. Maybe eat with their feet. No, wait, they can trample and kick someone to death. Maybe they should just give up eating altogether.
