  Pier 1 Recalls TV Stand One Day After Tipping Warning


Just a day after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned consumers about the dangers of furniture or TV stands tipping, Pier 1 imports has voluntarily recalled 4,300 Ming TV stands.

The retailer said that it did not have any reports of injuries in the United States, but had learned of the death of a Canadian child when a television fell off the stand.

The Ming TV Stand, SKU 2065368, is a brown wooden cabinet that sits directly on the floor and measures 35 1/2-inches wide, 17 3/4-inches deep and 23 1/2-inches high. The TV stand contains an open storage space between its top shelve and its single bottom drawer. Consumers should immediately remove televisions or other heavy items from these TV stands. The stands should be returned to a Pier 1 Imports store for a refund or merchandise credit.

Consumers can also call Pier 1 Customer Service at (800) 245-4595, prompt 6, between 8 a.m. and 11 p.m. central day Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays.
