CPSC, Bush Industries Inc. Announce Recall of Television Carts
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Sa fety
Commission (CPSC), Bush Industries Inc., of Jamestown, N.Y., is
recalling about 100,000 television carts for repair. The cart can tip
over. If the cart tips and the television falls, children and adults can
be injured.
Bush Industries has received two reports of these carts tipping
over and the television falling, resulting in one minor injury.
The television carts being recalled are laminated wood in colors
of black (model 5414) or brown (model 5014). There is no identifying
information on the cart, but the Bush name and the model number are on
the instruction booklet that came with the cart. The carts measure 28
inches wide, 26.25 inches high with wheels and 15.5 inches deep. The
carts are made to hold a 27-inch television and a VCR, and have a bottom
cabinet with hinged double doors.
Discount, home and furniture stores nationwide sold these television carts from June 1992 through August
1998 for about $60 to $100. The carts were sold ready-to-assemble.
Consumers should remove their televisions and VCRs from the carts
immediately and call Bush Industries at (800) 950-4782 between 9 a.m.
and 11 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday, or access their web site at
www.bushfurniture.com. Consumers also can write to the Consumer Service
Dept., Bush Industries Inc., One Mason Drive, P.O. Box 460, Jamestown,
NY 14702-0406. Bush Industries will help consumers identify if their
cart is part of this recall and send them a free repair kit. The repair
kit will help prevent the cart from tipping over.
