Bello International Corporation sells television stands made of tempered glass. This glass has a history of exploding spontaneously, posing a danger to consumers and damage to expensive audio/video equipment.
A few years ago, I purchased model# PVS-4215HG, believing their claim that it could accomodate my 42" plasma tv. The other night my family and I awoke to a loud crash coming from our living room. At first we thought someone had broken a window in our house. Turns out it was our Bell'o stand. No one touched it, no sudden temperature changes, nothing. The middle shelf just exploded into countless pieces all over my other components, dropping my center channel onto my receiver. And what a mess! Even had tiny pieces of glass inside my receiver and cable box.
The next day, I called Bell'o rep Sandy Alfare to inform her what had happened. She was well aware of this issue and apologized.
