Plain-English summary

Planet 3, of Deerfield, Ill., is recalling approximately 3,500 "Cherry Bentwood" model television stands sold at Circuit City stores nationwide from July 2003 through September 2003. The stands are made of mahogany wood with curved glass ends, measure 30 inches high and 45 inches wide, and are designed for televisions up to 36 inches in diameter. The model number PTT 22018 is written on the packaging and instructions, but there is no writing on the stands themselves.

Consumers should remove televisions from these stands immediately and return the stands to Circuit City for a refund. Consumers may also contact Planet 3 toll-free at (888) 616-5700 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday for more information.
