Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Edsal is recalling approximately 2.2 million Muscle Rack Heavy Duty 5-Tier Steel Shelving Units. These shelves, which feature gray or black steel frames and plywood shelves, can fail to support the 800-pound weight load stated on the packaging. Seven reports of shelves bending or breaking have been received, including one incident where a consumer suffered a broken toe from falling items. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shelves and contact Edsal Manufacturing for a full refund.

Risk

The shelving units cannot support the advertised 800-pound weight limit, causing the shelves to bend or break under heavy loads. This can lead to heavy items falling on consumers, which has already resulted in one report of a broken toe.
