You will want to take a close look at your office chair. The Consumer Product Safety Commission said that WorkPro Momentum Office Chairs were recalled because bolts that hold the back of the chair to the base can fail and make whoever is in the chair fall.

The CPSC did not specify how the bolts failed, but there were seven reports of people falling from the seat, two of whom suffered minor injuries.

The recall affects models 8517865 and 2864384. They came in either black or gray and had a metal frame, cushioned seat, five coaster wheels and a high back.

The model number can be found under the seat cushion.

They were sold by Office Depot, OfficeMax, Amazon, Walmart.com, eBay and other websites from October 2021 to September 2024 for about $430, the CPSC said.

If you have the recalled chairs, you should stop using them and contact Veyer to get a free repair kit which includes a bracket, bolts, Allen wrench and cover.

Contact Veyer by phone 833-881-0087 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, by email or online for more information.
