    We all have different priorities thanks to the many walks of life we all lead but a child's life tops 'em all. Pier 1 Imports, a popular trendy home outfitter, has issued a recall on the Ming TV stand after a Canadian child died. The warning indicates that if a person leans on the drawer while it is open, the TV might have the tendency to slide forward and off the stand. You can only image what a 80lb 27-inch TV could do to a person, let alone a small child. We can only advise owners of said stand to heed the advice of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and return the stand to Pier 1 for merchandise credit.
