Thermaltake Recalls Gaming Monitor Stands Due to Toppling Hazard

What Happened

Thermaltake has issued a recall for several models of gaming monitor stands designed for the GR500 racing simulator cockpit. According to the recall notice, these products do not comply with the mandatory standard for toppling furniture because required warning labels are missing. As a result, consumers may not be aware of the potential hazards associated with the equipment’s stability.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall involves the following Thermaltake gaming triple monitor stands:

• Gaming Triple Monitor Stand for GR500 Racing Simulator Cockpit – Snow Edition: Model number GEA-RMS-TMSWHT-01
• Triple Monitor Stand Pro Black Edition: Model number GSC-MSP-MDSLBB-01
• Triple Monitor Stand Pro Snow Edition: Model number GSC-MSP-MDSLWH-01

What You Should Do

Consumers are advised to exercise caution when using the stands. It is critical that children are never allowed to stand, climb, or hang on the monitor stands.

Owners of the affected models should contact Thermaltake Australia to request the required warning labels. Consumers can reach the company via email at [email protected] or by visiting the official technical support page at https://thermaltake.com.au/pages/tech-support.

Why This Matters

If the stand becomes unstable and topples, it poses a risk of serious injury or death to consumers or small children who may be in the vicinity of the equipment.
