TV/VCR Carts
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Sauder Woodworking Co. is recalling TV/VCR carts that can tip over easily, posing a risk of injury or death to children and adults when the cart and television fall. The recalled carts are models 2655 and 2755, which are approximately 29.5 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 27 inches high. They come in two finishes—light oak and dark cherry—and feature a top shelf designed to hold televisions up to 27 inches (weighing 95 pounds or less), a middle shelf for a VCR, and a lower storage area for tapes and equipment. The carts came as unassembled kits and have four removable casters on the bottom. The model number can be found in the instruction booklet, not on the cart itself.
According to the recall, affected consumers should immediately stop using the carts and remove the television and all contents. They should then turn the cart over and remove the four casters from the bottom to improve stability. Consumers should contact Sauder Woodworking Co. to receive a free repair kit that will further reduce the tipping hazard and must not use the cart until this repair kit has been installed.
