The TV can become unstable while on the assembled stand, posing serious tip-over and entrapment hazards that can result in injuries or death to children and others.

This recall involves four LG Electronics 86-inch smart TV models with model numbers 86UQ8000AUB, 86UQ7070ZUD, 86UQ7590PUD, and 86NANO75UQA. The TVs (not including the stands) are 86-inches diagonally, 43.5-inches high, 76-inches wide, and 2.4-inches deep. They weigh approximately 100 pounds. The serial number of the recalled product begins with 202RM, 203RM, 204RM, 205RM, 206RM, 207RM, or 208RM and is located at the bottom right of the back of the TV, along with the model number. Consumers can also check the serial number by pressing the mute button, three times rapidly, on the original LG remote control provided with their TV.
The last time we had something like this happen was back in 2018 when Panasonic had to recall 55-inch flat screen LED/LCD televisions with a swivel stand for the same problem. That recall applied to less than 1,000 televisions.
Back in February of 2022, the CPSC released a product instability report that showed, between 2000 and 2020, 71% of all child fatalities involved in a television.
