CPSC, Sauder Woodworking Announce Recall of Computer Armoires
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Sauder Woodworking Co., of Archbold, Ohio, is
voluntarily recalling about 212,400 computer armoires. The upper doors
or upper door components can fall off, causing injury to nearby
consumers.
Sauder Woodworking has received 143 reports of an upper door or
its components falling off, resulting in 17 injuries, including a broken
toe, cuts, scratches and bruises.
The recall involves the Monarch style computer armoire, models
2549 (washed pine finish), 2649 (woodland oak finish), 2749 (classic
cherry finish), 8449 (fruitwood finish), and 9649 ( amber oak finish).
The Monarch Computer Armoire measures about 41.5 inches wide, 23 inches
deep and 73 inches high with the doors closed. Two upper doors open to
reveal designated areas for a printer, monitor, and keyboard. Two lower
rollaway doors open to provide additional work surfaces and a file
drawer. "Sauder" is imprinted into two metal strike plates, located in
the corners of the upper doors. The model number is located on a sticker
that the consumer attached to the armoire or in the assembly instruction
book.
Department, office and furniture stores nationwide sold these
computer armoires from July 1997 through December 1999 for about $450.
Consumers should stop using the computer armoire immediately and
call Sauder toll-free at (888) 800-6315 between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. ET
Monday through Friday and between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday to order a
free repair kit. The repair kit includes safety brackets for
installation on both doors and installation instructions.
