Pier 1 Ming TV Stands

CPSC
The CPSC and Pier 1 Imports are recalling about 4,300 Ming TV Stands because '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.'

According to the CPSC recall alert, '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 remove televisions or other heavy items from these stands and return them to Pier 1 for a refund.
