Luxor Workspaces is recalling about 84,700 audiovisual (A/V) carts sold under the Luxor, H. Wilson "Tuffy," and LineLeader brands. These 3-shelf carts, often used in schools and offices to support heavy equipment like televisions, can become unstable and tip over, especially when loaded with heavy objects like older cathode-ray tube (CRT) TVs. This instability poses a serious tip-over hazard to children, which has already resulted in the deaths of three children and one serious injury between 2006 and 2016. The carts were sold in various colors and models since the early 1980s at retailers like Amazon, Grainger, and 123Stores. Consumers should immediately stop using these carts to support heavy equipment and contact Luxor for a free repair kit that includes weighted ballast for the lower shelf and new weight-limit warning labels.
The recalled carts can become top-heavy and unstable when supporting heavy equipment, particularly older box-shaped televisions. This poses a significant tip-over hazard to children, which has led to three reported fatalities and one serious injury when carts tipped over and landed on them.
Consumers should stop using the recalled carts immediately and contact Luxor for a free repair. Luxor will provide metal ballast kits, which should be installed by the consumer to the lower shelf of the cart to add stability and weight. New warning labels cautioning consumers to place no more than 25 lbs. on each shelf will also be provided. Consumers should attach these warning labels on each shelf.
