Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Allen Organ Company of Macungie, Pennsylvania, are recalling approximately 1,757 wooden organ benches. The recall is due to a manufacturing defect where not enough glue was used during assembly, which may cause the bench legs to collapse.
The recalled benches are made of oak, red oak, and walnut colored wood, measuring 26 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 48 inches long. They were sold primarily to churches and theaters as part of a package that includes an organ, console, pedal board, and speaker cabinets, with a very small number sold separately. The units were distributed through music retailers nationwide from April 1999 through November 1999 and from December 2002 through January 2004.
Four incidents have been reported involving loose joints for the legs of the organ bench, but no injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the recalled benches immediately and contact their local Allen Organ dealer or the Allen Organ Company Service Department to schedule a repair.
