Office Depot has recalled approximately 19,000 Realspace Magellan Performance Electric Height-Adjustable Desks because an electrical defect in the control box can cause reverse polarity. This defect creates a serious electrical hazard for anyone using the desk. These desks were sold in espresso and cherry finishes between April 2017 and February 2019. Office Depot is providing a free replacement control box and installation instructions to all affected consumers to resolve this safety issue.
The control box, which manages the upward and downward movement of the desk, has an internal electrical issue resulting in reverse polarity. This condition can lead to an electric shock when a user touches the desk or its components.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled desks and contact Office Depot to receive a free replacement control box with installation instructions. Office Depot is notifying purchasers directly.
