Description
The product is a guard rail that attaches to the top level of a standing choral riser set, with three tiered levels of horizontal platforms, on which individuals stand. The recall includes Optional Guard Rails (model numbers GRU30, 36 and 48) installed on Standing Choral Risers (model numbers TRP3C and SRP3C). Risers without guard rails are not included in this recall.
Hazard
Choral risers equipped with an optional guard rail can tip over under certain loading conditions, which poses a risk of injury from falling from the risers.

Owners of the choral riser sets with optional guard rails have been contacted directly by the Midwest Folding Products, Inc. and provided with information about how to obtain a free repair kit. If an owner of a choral riser set with optional guard rail has not already been contacted by Midwest Folding Products, the owner should stop using the risers immediately and contact Midwest Folding Products.
Incidents and injuries
Midwest Folding Products is aware of two incidents where a set of guard rail equipped risers tipped over. One incident caused a minor injury to one child.
