Hazards

The weld between the "VESA" style mounting plate and the mounting ring can fail, allowing the monitor or TV to fall. This poses a risk of injury to bystanders.

Reported injuries

Ergotron has received three reports of the monitor plate separating from the wall mount system. Consumers reported property damage to components of the wall mount unit. No injuries have been reported.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately remove the TV/monitor from the mount and contact Ergotron for a free repair kit.
