Ameriwood Recalls Entertainment Stands Sold Exclusively at Walmart Stores Due to Tip-Over Hazard

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Ameriwood Recalls Entertainment Stands Sold Exclusively at Walmart Stores Due to Tip-Over Hazard

The hazard

Warning labels sold with the entertainment stands indicate incorrect size and weight limits for televisions used with the stands. A television that is too heavy or wide for the entertainment stand can make the unit unstable, posing a tip-over hazard to consumers.

What to do

Consumers should immediately check the size and weight of the television used with the entertainment stands. If the television exceeds 50 pounds or does not sit entirely on top of the stand, consumers should immediately remove it from the stand. CRT televisions larger than 20 inches and flat panel televisions larger than 27 inches should not be placed on the stands. Consumers should contact Ameriwood for a replacement warning label.
