Knape & Vogt has recalled about 76,000 sit-stand office workstations sold under various brand names including Adas Elevo, 3M, and Inscape Rockit. The workstations, which allow users to adjust between sitting and standing positions, can malfunction, causing the hydraulic gas cylinders to separate and forcefully discharge from the unit. Knape & Vogt has received two reports of cylinders separating, including one incident where the cylinder shot out and damaged office drywall. These black or white units were sold by authorized sellers and major online retailers from October 2016 through February 2019 for between $350 and $560. Consumers should contact the company immediately to schedule a free in-home or office repair.
The hydraulic gas pressure cylinders used to raise and lower the desk can break away from the workstation frame. If they separate, they can discharge with significant force, acting as a projectile that can cause serious impact injuries or property damage.
Consumers should immediately contact Knape & Vogt to arrange for a free in-home/office repair.
