Plain-English summary
Edsal Manufacturing Company is recalling approximately 2.2 million 5-Tier Muscle Rack Heavy Duty Steel Shelving Units. The recalled units have gray or black steel frames and five plywood shelves. The specific model numbers involved are CR3618, CR3618-BLK, CR4824, and CR4824-BLK.
The recall is being issued because the shelves can fail to support the 800-pound weight load stated on the packaging. This failure poses an injury hazard to consumers. Edsal has received seven reports of shelves bending or breaking due to heavy items, including one report of a consumer suffering a broken toe after items fell when the unit broke.
The shelving units were sold online at Amazon.com, Staples.com, Walmart.com, and other online retailers from January 2015 through September 2020 for between $80 and $90. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled shelving units and contact Edsal Manufacturing to receive a full refund. For more information, consumers can call Edsal toll-free at 833-232-5287 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit Edsal.com and click on “Talk to us.”
