Administrative Office Chair Recall
There have been three major recall incidents involving administrative office chairs recently, all due to structural safety defects that could pose a risk of users falling or tripping. The recalled products were all manufactured in China and sold in the US market.
The first recall incident occurred on January 16, 2025, when the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall of the WorkPro Momentum office chairs manufactured in China. The recall was due to the possibility that the bolts connecting the chair back and the base could fail, causing users to fall. The affected products were the black model 8517865 and the gray model 2864384 (the model numbers are printed under the seat cushion). They were sold from October 2021 to September 2024, with approximately 64,000 units sold at a price of about $430 each. As of the recall, seven reports of consumers falling had been received, with two people suffering minor injuries. The CPSC advised consumers to immediately stop using the chairs and contact Veyer to obtain a free repair kit (including a rear bracket, bolts, and installation tools).
The second recall incident took place on March 19, 2026, when the CPSC recalled adjustable and swivel computer chairs manufactured in China, including the Noah office chair (model M7016O), the Owen office chair (model M7004O), and the Warren office chair (model M7074O). The recall was due to the possibility that the bases could bend, posing a risk of tripping. They were sold from August 2025 to December 2025, with approximately 2,200 units sold at prices ranging from $180 to $200. As of the recall, no accidents or casualties had been reported. The CPSC advised consumers to immediately stop using the chairs and obtain a full refund through a designated website.
The third recall incident occurred on March 2, 2023, when the US and Canada jointly recalled office chairs manufactured in China. The recall was due to the possibility that the chair backs could break, posing a risk of falling. As of the recall, 12 reports had been received, including 10 injury cases, but specific brands, models, and sales data were not disclosed.
The core issues of these recall incidents all point to structural safety defects, including bolt failure, base bending, and backrest breakage, which could cause users to fall or trip. Consumers who have purchased relevant products should immediately stop using them and contact the manufacturer according to the guidance in the recall announcement to obtain repair or refund services.
