"LG Electronics has received 22 reports of TV stand instability, resulting in 12 reports of tip-overs," CPSC said. "No injuries have been reported."
The serial number of the recalled LG TVs begins with 202RM, 203RM, 204RM, 205RM, 206RM, 207RM, or 208RM, which is located at the bottom right of the back of the TV beside the model number. Consumers can also check the serial number by pressing the mute button 3 times rapidly on the original LG remote control provided with their TV.
Affected LG TVs were sold online and at Walmart, Best Buy, Costco and other stores nationwide from March 2022 through September 2022 for between $1,100 and $1,900.
If you purchased an LG smart TV that is affected by this recall, you should immediately detach the TV's supporting stand legs and place the unit in a safe location away from children. Contact LG Electronics for instructions on how to inspect the unit and to obtain replacement screws and stand parts. Consumers who wall-mounted their TVs do not need to stop using their TVs.
