Plain-English summary

Milestone AV Technologies LLC is recalling approximately 131,000 flat screen television wall mounts, specifically the Sanus Vision Mount model LF228-B1 and the Simplicity model SLF2. The recall was issued because the elbow joint components on the wall mount's arm do not fit together properly. This defect can cause the attached television to tilt and possibly fall when the television is adjusted, posing an injury hazard to consumers.

The Sanus Vision Mount model LF228-B1 was sold through independent television mount dealers nationwide from June 2009 through July 2010 for about $450. The Simplicity model SLF2 was sold through Costco during the same period for about $200. The model numbers can be found on the UL sticker on the wall plate.
