The CPSC and LG Electronics are recalling LG 86-inch smart televisions and stands.  The TV is unstable on the assembled stand creating tip over and entrapment hazards with serious injuries and even death especially for children.  About 52,000 were sold in the US, about 1,800 were sold in Canada, and about 2,900 were sold in Mexico.  If you bought one of these LG 86 inchers, stop using the provided stand and place the TV in a safe location away from children.  Contact LG Electronics by texting “STAND” to 1-256-888-9977, by calling 1-800-243-0000, or by emailing [email protected].  LG will provide instructions on how to inspect the unit and obtain replacement screws and stand parts.  They will provide help from a technician for a free repair. If you wall-mounted the TV, do nothing.
