Approximately 44,000 Bostitch Quietsharp Glow Classroom (EPS11HC) and Super Pro Commercial (EPS14HC) electric pencil sharpeners have been recalled. Internal electrical components can energize the device's exterior, leading to a risk of electrical shock. One consumer has already reported receiving a shock from the product. These sharpeners feature a silver body with a black front dial and were sold at major retailers including Office Depot, Staples, and Amazon from April 2012 through August 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using and unplug the units to receive a free replacement.
The electrical components inside the sharpener can malfunction and touch the casing, energizing the entire unit. This creates a direct shock hazard to anyone who touches the sharpener while it is plugged in, as evidenced by one reported consumer injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled electric pencil sharpeners, unplug them from the outlet and contact Amax for a free replacement unit.
