WASHINGTON (AP) _ An Ohio company is recalling some 592,000 television-videocassette recorder carts because they can tip over and have caused injuries and at least one death.

Sauder Woodworking Co., of Archbold, Ohio, has received at least 13 reports of tipping carts. A 19-month-old girl from North Wales, Penn., suffered a fractured skull and died in February 2001, and four other people have been injured in separate instances, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Monday.

The commission received a report of the death from the company last year, commission spokesman Mark Ross said.

The recalled wooden carts have model numbers 2655 and 2755, located on the cart's instruction booklet.

Department, discount and home electronic stores sold the unassembled carts nationwide from January 1993 to December 1999 for about $100.

Consumers are advised to stop using the carts and remove all contents. The carts should be turned over and the four casters removed from the bottom. More information and a free repair kit is available by calling the company at (888) 800-4590.
