CPSC, Mill's Pride Announce Recall of Assembled Utility Wall Cabinet
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Mill's Pride, of Waverly, Ohio, is voluntarily
recalling about 187,000 "Premier" and "Four Seasons" brand assembled
utility wall cabinets. The cabinets can detach from the wall and fall,
possibly injuring consumers.
Mill's Pride has received 18 reports of cabinets falling from the
wall, including four reports of consumers receiving minor injuries such
as cuts, scrapes and bruises.
The utility cabinets are sold fully assembled and consumer-
installed. The cabinets are white and measure 54-inches wide by 24-
inches high. Each cabinet has three doors, two adjustable shelves and
one divider panel. The cabinets are made of particle board with a white
vinyl laminate. There are no identifying labels on the product; however,
these were the only assembled white 54-inch utility cabinets sold at
Home Depot stores from July 2000 through May 2001.
Home Depot stores nationwide exclusively sold the cabinets for
about $90.
Consumers should carefully remove the cabinet's contents and
contact Mill's Pride at (877) 677-6777 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET
Monday through Friday to receive a free repair kit.
