Haier America Recalls 42-inch LED-TVs Due to Risk of Injury
Tip-over
The hazard
The TV stand's neck support can break and cause the TV to tip over, posing a risk of injury to the consumer.
Incidents reported: Haier America and CPSC have received 184 reports of the TV stand's neck cracking or breaking. No injuries have been reported.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using and detach the TV from the stand and keep both the TV and the base in a safe location. Consumers should contact Haier America to request a free replacement stand neck to be used with the original base. Consumers with a wall-mounted TV may continue to use it but should request a free replacement stand neck in case the TV is used with the stand in the future.
