How badly anyone was hurt

  • No one hurt 3 CPSC: Incident, No Injury

As each report says it, in short words; CPSC’s own words are under each.

The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Feb 21, 2014, sent to the company Mar 4, 2014, published by CPSC Mar 19, 2014

    The product, in the report: SE421TT

    I have a Seiki SE421TT. The Neck had broke and TV fell forward. From the look of the break it looks like the plastic has crumbled inside of the neck. It looks like it is extremely brittle. When I contacted the Seiki support they attempted to blame me for screwing the screws to tight in a part of the TV. This is an area that only the manufacturer screws.
