CPSC, Stack-On Products Co. Announce Recall of Gun Cabinets
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Stack-On Products Co., of Wauconda, Ill., is
recalling about 3,300 gun cabinets with the brand name "Stack-On" or
"Sentinel". The gun cabinets have push button locks that can be opened
without the use of a key allowing unauthorized access to firearms.
Stack-On Products has received two reports of consumers being able to
open locks without using their keys. No injuries have been reported.
Only those Stack-On brand gun cabinets and Sentinel gun cabinets with
push button locks are being recalled. The brand name is printed on the
front of the cabinet door. The model numbers being recalled are GCP-910
or GCP-914 for the Stack-On brand gun cabinets, and GPW-14 for the
Sentinel brand gun cabinets. The gun cabinets are a burgundy color and
hold either 10 or 14 rifles or shotguns up to 54-inches tall. The
cabinets are made of heavy steel with a single key, chrome-finished
handle that moves a locking bar into place. The 14-gun cabinet measures
21-inches wide by 18-inches deep by 55-inches high. The 10-gun cabinet
measures 27-inches wide by 10-inches deep by 55-inches high. The
cabinets were sold with adjustable storage bins that attach to the door
for storing pistols, ammunition and cleaners.
Outdoor and sporting good stores nationwide sold the Stack-On brand cabinets and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. nationwide exclusively sold Sentinel brand cabinets from May 2000 through September 2000. These gun cabinets sold for between $240 and $300.
Consumers with these gun cabinets should contact Stack-On Products for information on receiving a free push button replacement lock. Stack-On Products can be reached at (800) 323-9601 between 9 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or go to the firm's web site at www.stack-on.com.
Until consumers receive a replacement lock, make sure guns are unloaded and stored in a secured location.
