Plaintiff is a homeowner who is suing the AV company because a TV "fell off the wall".

Case starts out with the plantiff telling the story about the bad check he wrote and you hear "snap toggler" so at first you want to side with the AV guy.

Then you see that the AV guy used 4 snap togglers to mount an articulating bracket to the drywall. Snap togglers worked. The chunk of drywall that fell out is still securely mounted to the bracket when it rips from the drywall.

AV guy brings the snap toggler spec sheet to show how many pounds it can handle but the judge figures out that articulating action changes the math a little bit. Judge then goes to the Sanus website where it says in bold letters "This product is designed for use in wood studs only - DO NOT install into drywall alone."

In one of the photos it showed where the bracket was mounted center on a stud. Instead of piloting a couple of holes (or moving the bracket 2 inches to the left) to make use of the stud they put two togglers on either side of the stud and of course the bracket+TV ripped out of the wall when someone tried to move the TV. Video of that part [Link: wiremunky.com]

Anyone know these guys? Tell them that "no stud=no movement" when it comes to mount selection.
