Flat Panel TV Tilt-Mount Brackets Recalled by Circuit City Stores Inc.
Due to Risk of Falling Units

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary
recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using
recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of product: "Verge" Flat Panel Television Tilt-Mount Brackets

Units: About 9,900

Importer: Circuit City Stores Inc., of Richmond, Va.

Manufacturer: Logitek (HK) International Co. Ltd., of Hong Kong

Hazard: If upward force is applied to a mounted television, the
bracket's lock bar could unfasten. This could cause the television to
fall and injure bystanders.

Only the bystanders. Not the wiz-bang that pushed up on it.


Incidents/Injuries: None reported.

Description: The recalled tilt-mount brackets for flat panel
televisions are sold under Circuit City's private label, "Verge." The
two model numbers involved in this recall are VPSW103M and VPSW103M2.
"Verge" and the model numbers are written on the packaging. There is
no writing on the brackets. The brackets were sold individually and
through an installation package.

April 2007 for about $180 for Model VPSW103M and $140 for Model
VPSW103M2.
