As I was sitting in my living room watching TV around 8:30pm on Tuesday, August 30, 2016, the glass the TV was sitting on shattered for unexplained reason. I bought the TV and stand together at Best Buy on February 13, 2010 as a set. The top shelf of the TV stand was recommended for the size of TV I was buying as the stand can hold up to 300lbs. I have been using the TV stand with the same TV since the day it was bought with no issues. The TV stand has not ever been used for anything else, or misused in anyway. When the glass randomly shattered, it flew across my living room, into my dining and kitchen area, as well as at myself as I was sitting on the couch about 5ft from it. The TV proceeded to fall forward onto my hardwood floors, which have suffered damage, and my TV no longer works. The two glass shelves below were also damaged. This could have been deadly had one of my kids, grandkids, myself, pets, or anyone else have been near the TV or in front of the TV on the floor.
The TV stand manufacturer is init, the model is NT-C1140. This TV stand is still being sold. I feel this is a potential hazard to other consumers, especially for small children, pets, and anyone in general. My [REDACTED] TV only weighs 62.8lbs, so there is definitely not a weight issue and the TV was the only item sitting on the top shelf. I have my original receipt of purchase from Best Buy, this was the recommended TV stand for the TV I purchased. I also have several pictures of the incident immediately after this happening. I have saved the shattered glass, the TV stand frame, and the TV that does not work anymore.
What I am asking is that I be reimbursed for replacement cost and for damages to my wood floors. I will submit a claim directly with the manufacturer as well. I have already talked to a store manager at Best Buy on Wednesday, August 31, 2016 and they were not willing to assist in any way. I feel this product should be removed and recalled.
