The product, in the report: Sit to Stand Desk Riser 81974
Llorell offers a Sit to Stand Desk Riser to sit on top of an existing desk which allows the consumer to move from a sitting position to a standing position.
The product has the potential to create a substantial risk of injury and property damage to the consumer / user when attempting to make a raised or lowered adjustment. Serious lower back and neck injuries can be created when adjustments are made to the product. To made adjustments, the consumer “unlocks” the adjustment component located at the rear of the desk (approximately 16 inches from the front of the product) on both sides of the product. To access the adjustment components, the consumer needs a 30 inch wide-arm grasp to complete to “unlock” the adjustment component. The position of the adjustment components requires the consumer to bend the upper torso at approximately 46 degree angle, which is recognized as an awkward position. After “unlocking” the consumer then user then lifts the desk in an upward motion by grasping either the front or side of the product to guide it to the desired height. The gas spring mechanism, which allows the desk to adjust, requires a significant amount of force to complete the full adjustment motion (either raised or lowered). Adjusting the desk using a pulling force coupled with the consumer’s upper torso bent at a 46 degree angle is a hazard to the lower back and neck. Serious injury can occur by making these adjustments to this product.
Numerous pinch point hazards are encountered while making adjustments with no warnings or cautions labeled on the product nor listed in the instructions.
In addition, depending on where you grasp the desk lower stabilizers raise with the desk causing the product to tip over on the consumer.
The instructions included in the box are extremely limited. Recommended maintenance nor inspection requirements were not listed in the user’s guide.
I contacted S.P Richards Product Support via phone on September 8th and spoke with [REDACTED] regarding my concerns. She indicated customers have similar complaints regarding rising and lowering the devise but the issue should be resolved overtime after the product is “broken in”. I explained how much force is required to adjust the unit and the tipping hazard when the stabilizers are lifted; she recommended I contact the seller or distributor to replace the product. [REDACTED] indicated there may be a defect with the pistons which is causing a large amount of force to made adjustments. I will be contacting the distributed to exchange the defective product.
