After receiving a report of a 19-month-old being killed as well as three other injuries, the CPSC is issuing a recall notice for the Ameriwood entertainment center due to the fact that if the back panel on the unit is not properly secured, it has the potential to collapse. Sheesh, first we have to bolt these things to the wall so they don’t tip over, and now they are just imploding all on their own?

The entertainment centers affected are black with two lower miter-framed doors, two glass doors at the top, and CD storage racks. These were sold under the Ridgewood/Charleswood brand name between June 2000 and May 2005. They ran for approximately $200 all over the place nationwide, including K-Mart. Another way to identify this unit is to check for the model number 93956 printed in the instruction manual. HAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, right, like we have the manual for a piece of furniture we put together 5 years ago. But if you happen to keep such things, come on over to our place, we have some closets we need help organizing.

More information about this recall is located on Ameriwood’s website.
