LG Electronics is recalling about 52,000 of its 86-inch smart televisions because the TVs can become unstable while on their supporting stand legs. The units weigh approximately 100 pounds, and if the stand is not properly installed or becomes unstable, the TV can tip over and cause serious injury or death. This recall includes four specific 86-inch models sold at major retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Costco between March and September 2022. LG has received 22 reports of stand instability, including 12 reports of the TVs actually tipping over, though no injuries have been reported so far. Consumers using the stand legs should immediately detach them and contact LG for a free repair or replacement parts.
