The product, in the report: Work Pro Commercial Mesh Executive Chair SKU# 2411-4780
I’m in the market for a new ergonomic desk chair, so last Saturday (2/15/2014) I and my wife stopped at Office Max to test out chairs. The “Work Pro Commercial Mesh Executive Chair” (SKU# 2411-4780) looked great and felt sturdy and I sat rather comfortably in it. But when I placed my right hand over the front edge of the seat and explored one of the adjustment levers on the left side of the chair, I suddenly felt one of my fingers had become locked in the chair’s mechanism. Although I tried to work the adjustment lever and slide my finger out, my finger was painfully stuck. My wife tried to manipulate the lever too, but she too could not release the chair’s grip on my finger. Soon the tip of my finger turned white and my wife was calling “emergency, emergency.” A cashier called the manager but the manager did not arrive soon and could not release my finger. It is hard for me to estimate the time that passed, perhaps four or five minutes, but eventually a shopper worked the adjustment and freed my finger. This accident could have been prevented by a better design. In particular a plastic guard could be in place to prevent the chair gripping a finger much like a vise.
