More than 130,000 flat screen television wall mounts manufactured by Milestone AV Technologies have been recalled because the mounting arms do not fit properly and they could fail, causing the television set to fall. There have been no reported incidents yet but the manufacturer and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are issuing this recall to make sure none happen.
The affected mount is the Sanus Vision Mount model LF228-B1 wall mounts and Simplicity model SLF2. The model numbers can be found on the UL sticker on the wall plate. The Sanus Vision models were sold to independent dealers nationwide from June 2009 through July 2010 for around $450. The Simplicity model was sold through Costco from June 2009 through July 2010 for about $200.
Consumers should immediately inspect the wall mount to determine if the elbow joint fits properly and contact Milestone for a free replacement wall mount arm. Instructions for visual inspections are located here. For additional information, contact Milestone at (877) 894-6280.
