Circuit City Recalls Planet 3 Television Stands

November 20, 2003

Circuit City is recalling Planet 3 television stands. The stand can tip over when a television is placed on it, possibly causing injuries to nearby consumers or death to young children.

No injuries have been reported.

The recalled stands are "Cherry Bentwood" model television stands. The three-tier stands are made from mahogany wood and have curved glass ends. They are 30 inches high and 45 inches wide, and sold for use with televisions up to 36 inches in diameter. Model number PTT 22018 is written on the packaging and instructions. There is no writing on the stands themselves.

Circuit City stores nationwide sold the stands from July 2003 through September 2003 for about $250.

Consumers should remove televisions from these stands immediately and return the stands to Circuit City for a refund. Contact Planet 3 toll-free at (888) 616-5700 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m CT Monday through Friday for more information.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
