About 124,000 Staples and Quill Hazen Mesh Task chairs are being recalled because the legs on the chair base can break. Staples has received 20 reports of broken chair legs, including three reports of injuries involving minor cuts and bruises. These black chairs, which feature a five-wheel base and mesh back, were sold at Staples stores and online at staples.com and quill.com between October 2014 and April 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these chairs and contact Staples for a free replacement base.
The structural legs on the five-wheel base can break while in use, which causes the chair to become unstable and collapse. This defect has resulted in 20 reported incidents where users fell, leading to minor cuts and bruises.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled chairs and contact Staples to receive a free replacement base and instructions for replacing the original base.
