The product
This recall involves Your Zone Loft Collection entertainment stands. The stands are intended to be used as gaming centers. The recall includes Autumn Beech YZ084-104-13-19 stands with model number 1156020WY. Model information is printed on the instruction manual.
The hazard

If the television exceeds 50 pounds or does not sit entirely on top of the stand, consumers should immediately remove it from the stand.
