AV Carts Recalled After Fatal Tip-Overs.
TL;DR Summary
Luxor Workspaces is recalling 84,700 of its A/V carts, some sold as far back as the early 1980s, due to instability when loaded with heavy objects such as CRT TVs. Three children have died and one was seriously injured between 2006 and 2016 when the carts tipped over and landed on them. Consumers are urged to stop using the carts immediately, and Luxor is offering free repair kits that include metal ballast kits and warning labels. The recall is voluntary, and Luxor asserts that its carts have always been safe when used as intended and in accordance with operating instructions and warning labels.
