The product, in the report: Wall Mount
An over the fireplace tv wall mount. It failed twice in exactly the same, extremely hazardous way. They will not take responsibility for this, but have only offered store credit. I bought a wall mount a year ago, and after a couple months it developed a clunking sound every time I raised or lowered the tv. Note that raising and lowering the tv is the essential function of this product. Eventually, I figured out that the bolt connecting the gas springs to the wall bracket had come unscrewed. This is extremely hazardous, as the gas springs could fly loose at very high speed and impale someone or break bones. When I wrote to the manufacturer, they said I could exchange the wall mount for the exact same product. They told me I had to have all the original packaging, but I did not have it anymore; it was six months later. They granted me an exception but said they would not do so again. I mailed back the mount in a large box, as safely wrapped as I could. They sent me the same model wall mount in return.
Two months later, the second mount failed in the exact same spot. Looking closely, I saw that the bolt comes under extreme pressure from the gas springs, and it therefore is forced to turn in the direction that the wall mount is moved. Every time you move the tv, you necessarily unscrew the bolt. The bolt just screws into a threaded piece of sheet metal. There is no locking bolt. Clearly this is an unsafe design. When I wrote to Monoprice again, at first they said I could exchange it with the original packaging. Yay, I kept that this time, just in case. But I said I don’t want the same product, as it will just fail a third time. They said I could have store credit. I said I don’t want store credit when your selling unsafe products. They said no, it has been more than 30 days since the original purchase. Well, yeah; the thing failed twice because it’s badly designed, both times more than 30 after receipt! The design could be fixed. They could add a locking bolt, which they have in other locations on this product. They could used a cotter pin that would not be subject to getting unscrewed. Here are photos of the area that failed. The gas springs on the left is about 1/4 inch past the point where it was originally screwed in. The only thing holding it in place is the fact that it is wedged between the front of the pivot arm and the back of the bracket.
