Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Topsy-Turvy Recall Alert

Per the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission:

Hazard: The legs on the bottom of the planter can detach when the planter is moved or becomes unbalanced. This could cause the planter to fall and injure bystanders.

Incidents/Injuries: The firm has received 347 reports of the planters collapsing; 155 consumers have reported injuries including lacerations, broken toes and bruises. QVC has also received reports of property damage caused when the planter collapsed onto nearby items.

Remedy: Consumers who have already set up the planter should immediately take it down by having two adults carefully tip it over on its side. Consumers who purchased the planter through a QVC television program or QVC.com were mailed instructions on obtaining a refund. Consumers who have not received instructions should contact QVC. Consumers who purchased the planter at a QVC store should return the planter to any QVC store to receive a full refund.

I know lots of QVC customers have been having a difficult time trying to get this fixed with the Q. Maybe now that it's officially a recall, things will get resolved faster.

There's nothing like a fresh, homegrown tomato (sliced with a little salt and fresh-ground pepper on it! Yum!), but not when they are knocking you in the head!
