| This is quite dangerous. Thank you for the announcement posted. At least buyers will be cautious enough before purchasing Coung Artist Easels. They should call the attention af all markets as well to dismantle these products. Good thing no injuries yet, and I hope consumers won't be too affected. I think manufacturers should be keen enough with their products before discharging them. This is to secure the safety of consumers. |
