Global Workbench Power Risers, Power Aprons and Power Shelves
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Global Industrial is recalling workbenches with electrical components—specifically Power Risers, Power Aprons, and Power Shelves—due to hazardous wiring conditions. The electrical outlets on these components have misrouted wiring, and some power cords have reverse polarity, which creates an electric shock hazard. The Power Riser is a gray steel component with an 18-inch shelf and four outlets available in 60, 72, and 96-inch lengths, while the Power Apron and Power Shelf are steel units available in blue or tan with three outlets each and lengths ranging from 48 to 96 inches.
Consumers who own affected workbenches should immediately unplug the power cords and stop using the electrical outlets. Global is contacting customers directly to either send replacement risers, aprons, and shelves with properly wired outlets and replacement power cords, or dispatch technicians to repair the faulty wiring and replace the faulty power cords on-site. Affected consumers should also remove the power cord from their workbench and await contact from Global for repair or replacement.
