Product Recall Information for LG 86-inch Smart TVs

1/9/2023

Product Recall Information

 

LG Electronics (“LGE”), in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, is voluntarily recalling certain LG 86 Inch Smart TVs, with model numbers 86UQ8000AUB, 86UQ7070ZUD, 86UQ7590PUD, and 86NANO75UQA—pictured below.

Reason for Recall

The TV’s supporting stands may become vulnerable when not attached by properly tightening all three screws for each of the two stand elements provided by the manufacturer. This vulnerability can be exacerbated where an external force or load is applied to the TV stand, posing a tip-over hazard and a risk of injury from impact. Where the TV stands are properly installed or not subjected to any excessive external force or load, there is no demonstrable stand vulnerability.

 

Affected Units

 

  • • Locate your TV's model and serial numbers. These can be found at the bottom right of the back of the TV.
  • • Affected models: 86UQ8000AUB, 86UQ7070ZUD, 86UQ7590PUD, and 86NANO75UQA.
  • • Affected TVs: TVs sold by various retailers online and in-store (including Walmart, Best Buy, Costco, Amazon, and smaller retailers) from approximately March 2022 through September 2022.
