Matsushita Electric Corporation of America, which manufactures Panasonic, Quasar, RCA, and JCPenney branded combination TV/VCRs, has recalled certain models because the TV/VCR cabinets can break when lifted by the ventilation holes located in the top rear of the cabinet. When the cabinet breaks, the TV/VCR can fall and cause injury to hands and feet.
