06544 · Recalled 2006-04-11 · CPSC page

Description

The YDP213 Digital Piano is black with a black and white keyboard and brown trim. The bench is black with a cushioned seat. White stick-on labels on the underside of the bench give the assembly instructions and reference several requirements. All labels have Yamaha written on them. The serial number and "Made in China" are stamped on the underside of the seat. The YDP213 Digital Piano and BC-104DR(U) Keyboard Bench are sold together with the bench, boxed within the piano box. The model number of the bench appears only on the box within the piano box and not on the bench itself.

Hazards

On some benches, one or more bench bolts do not meet tensile strength specifications, which can result in collapse of the bench while in use, posing a risk of injury. The recall does not involve the pianos with which the benches were sold.

Reported injuries

Yamaha Corp. has received one report of a bench collapsing in Taiwan. No injuries were reported.

Remedy

Yamaha will contact each customer and provide free replacement bolts for each bench.
