AmTRAN Video is recalling approximately 27,000 JVC 42-inch Emerald Series Full HD 1080P LED flat panel televisions. The stand neck on these units can crack, causing the television to tip over unexpectedly. There have been 16 reports of cracked stand necks, though no injuries have been reported. These televisions were sold at major retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Sam's Club between February and August 2014 for between $370 and $470.
The plastic neck of the television stand can fail and crack under the weight of the TV. This can cause the television to fall forward suddenly, posing a risk of impact injuries to anyone nearby.
Consumers using the stand assembly (neck and base) should immediately detach it, place the television in a safe location and contact AmTRAN Video for a replacement stand neck. Consumers with wall-mounted televisions should request the replacement neck in case the stand assembly is needed for future use.
