LG Electronics recalls some television sets in the United States, citing entrapment hazards and risks of tip-over. The recall affects a total of 52,000 units that were sold in the country and specifically involves free-standing TV models.
As per Fox Business, the LG TVs included in the recall were sold from March 2022 to September 2022 and mostly purchased at Walmart, Costco, and Best Buy outlets across the country. Others were also bought from the mentioned retailers’ online stores and Amazon. Smart TVs have prices ranging from $1,100 to $1,900.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) also posted a recall notice for the LG products. It stated that the South Korean electronics company’s 86-inch smart televisions and stands are being recalled because these can fall over and also pose entrapment hazards.
It was explained that the freestanding LG smart TVs could become unstable at some point while on the stand and fall over. The CPSC said that this accident may possibly result in injuries and even death in children and others.
LG Electronics said it had already received at least 22 reports related to an unstable stand, and in 12 cases, consumers said their TVs tipped over. Then again, the company did not receive any injury report resulting from the incidents.
Aside from the freestanding LG televisions sold in the U.S., the recall also indicated that affected units were also sold in Canada (1,800 units) and 2,900 in Mexico. As posted on CPSC’s website, the model numbers included in the recall are 86UQ8000AUB, 86UQ7070ZUD, 86UQ7590PUD, and 86NANO75UQA.
Customers were advised to immediately unfasten their TVs from the stands and make sure that the product is placed away from children. They were also told to contact LG Electronics to get instructions on how to check their unit and obtain the necessary replacement parts, such as screws and stands. The company’s technicians may also be contacted for free repair.
