Reminds me of the story "Television set crushes child." It has been a
long known fact by the consumer product safety commision that many
large tube tv sets are so poorly designed and front heavy that they
have a natural tendency to tip forwards.

I once saw a Sony 27" TV from about 1990 that was so front heavy that
even the slightest touch would make it tip over. I don't know how
they got away with selling it.
