Description
The Ming TV Stand, SKU 2065368, is a brown wooden cabinet that sits directly on the floor and measures 35½ inches wide, 17¾ inches deep and 23½ inches high. The TV stand contains an open storage space between its top shelf and its single bottom drawer.
Hazards
If a consumer leans on the stand's drawer when open, the unit can tilt forward and cause a television on top to slide off, posing a risk of injury or death.
Reported injuries
Pier 1 has not received any reports of injuries in the United States. Though, Pier 1 has received a report of a death of a young child in Canada, which occurred when a television fell off the TV stand.
Remedy
The firm is no longer in business. Customers should immediately remove televisions or other heavy items from these TV stands and discard the product.
