No incident, no one hurt Made Mar 26, 2022, sent to the company Mar 30, 2022, published by CPSC Apr 13, 2022
The product, in the report: The product is a 6-shelf vertical stereo equipment rack, with metal poles at the corners of the shelves. The poles screw into the tops and bottoms of the shelves. It’s a Model AR406SC. SC means silver-tone poles and cherry-finish shelves. Here is the mfr product page: http://www.vtimanufacturing.com/vti_product/ar406-audio-rack/ NOTE I have no idea what the “Date of Manufacture” is, so I plugged in New Year’s Day.
Late last year i purchased and assembled a VTI model AR406SC 6-shelf stereo rack. I set up my audio on gear on its shelves. Everything was fine until a week ago, when I moved the unit to get at the cables and connections on the back of my stereo components. As I moved the cart, the front castered wheel partially collapsed. The unit lurched diagonally forward, dumping any unsecured items to rain down on me or crash on the floor. The castered wheels screw into threaded silver metal caps on the ends of the four legs. The silver caps appear to merely be pressed onto the four legs. So as the front leg began to fail, the silver cap bent and then became dislodged from the leg. There were no injuries to me, although some of my audio equipment may have been damaged. I contacted the company in City of Industry CA and exchanged several emails with their representative, who now claims to be the owner. She had repeatedly denied that what happened to me was possible. She continually asserts that the silver metal threaded ring is, in fact, merely decorative, and is not a structural element. She has told me the threaded screw which connects the caster threads into the leg of the unit, not the threaded silver cap. I sent her photos demonstrating the opposite. The metal cap is obviously threaded, and it is disfigured by being bent by the weight of my stereo gear. She continues to tell me I am mistaken. She offered to send me a new base, which apparently has been redesigned, to replace mine. I have not taken her up on that offer. I think the company should contact current owners, inform them of a potentially dangerous situation, and offer to replace their base units as well.
