The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The wooden table base can split and/or collapse, causing the glass table top to fall. This poses collapse and impact hazards to consumers.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
