No incident, no one hurt Made Jul 21, 2026, sent to the company Jul 31, 2026, published by CPSC Aug 14, 2026
The product, in the report: The product is a powered, motorized adjustable-height standing desk called the Secretlab Mangus Pro XL (both the Pro and Pro XL share this flaw), and it must be combined with an officially sold accessory called the Secretlab Premium PC Mount for it to become dangerous. This applies to any color or size of the product.
I was recalibrating my powered standing desk, the Secretlab Mangus Pro XL, when I realized too late that the safety features it has get disabled during recalibration. This resulted in me crushing my PC against the floor with no way to release it. I realized that this is potentially extremely dangerous, because a child could easily get stuck under this motorized desk and get crushed to death.
The issue stems from combining two of Secretlab’s products, the Magnus Pro (XL or non-XL) and their Premium PC Mount. The PC mount hangs from the underside of the desk and moves with the desk when adjusting its height, and can hold your desktop PC. Since this effectively extends the bottom of the desk, Secretlab themselves recommend you set a new minimum height of 78 cm instead of the default 65 cm. The problem is if the desk is ever put into recalibration mode, it disables collision detection (as required to recalibrate) and removes the minimum height, and it only allows the desk to move DOWN. There is no way to move it back up without moving the desk ALL THE WAY DOWN to 65 cm first to recalibrate the desk. You can’t even cancel this process. If anything were to get crushed under the desk because you failed to remove the PC Mount before recalibration, you can crush someone under the desk with no way to release them. Someone else who is strong enough to lift the 265 lb (at max load) desk is required to save whoever is stuck.
Secretlab does understand this already and warns that you must remove the PC Mount before recalibration. I don’t believe the warning is enough. A reasonable user expects collision detection and minimum height settings to work at all times and may no realize that they need to remove the PC Mount first. This also wouldn’t stop a child from accidentally turning on recalibration mode and potentially harming themselves.
I contend that the primary danger of the product is the inability to move the desk back up after it has been moved down in recalibration mode. I had to forcefully remove the PC from the mount which was stuck due to being crushed, and then I had to remove the mount by adjusting it to be shorter, which was very difficult since the mechanism is hidden against the table leg and the mount is rigid. I had to bend the mount away from the table leg enough to release the latch and adjust the mount, which then allowed me to remove it from the table and continue with recalibration.

Emergency room Made Jul 14, 2025, sent to the company Jul 17, 2025, published by CPSC Jul 31, 2025
The product, in the report: Secretlab Magnus Pro 1.5m Motorized Desk
I purchased and assembled a Secretlab Magnus Pro 1.5m Motorized Desk. After following all instructions and completing the setup with assistance, I plugged the desk into a standard wall outlet for the first time. Upon touching the metal portion of the desk frame, I was immediately electrocuted the shock was violent enough to cause my hand to recoil forcefully and trip the circuit breaker, cutting power to the entire house.
No external devices were connected to the desk at the time. The desk was freshly assembled, unused, and had just been powered on. There was a clear electrical fault in the internal wiring or grounding of the desk. After the incident, the desk emitted a strong chemical or burnt odor, indicating internal damage.
I suffered a physical reaction to the shock and was taken to the emergency room, where I was evaluated and monitored for electrical injuries. The incident resulted in muscle soreness and back strain from the involuntary recoil movement, and I was advised to remain under observation. Medical expenses are ongoing. I am now unable to safely disassemble or handle the desk without assistance due to continued pain and concern over further injury.
This appears to be a serious electrical safety failure of a motorized consumer desk, with the potential for severe injury or worse.

No one hurt Made Sep 29, 2022, sent to the company Oct 13, 2022, published by CPSC Nov 3, 2022
The product, in the report: Secretlab Magnus Pro XL. The full description is available on their website : [REDACTED]
A company called SecretLab contacted me about a product I ordered called a Magnus Pro XL. They said, “We are getting in touch with you regarding your recent purchase of the MAGNUS Pro, to let you know that we have received one feedback on a potential electrical concern and we are currently looking into it. No matter how small the risk, your safety is our top priority and as a precautionary measure, we require your assistance to complete the following steps as soon as possible. Step 1 - Remove any plug from the socket on the MAGNUS Pro leg. The desk’s height can still be adjusted but please ensure that all devices are not connected to the Power Supply Column of the MAGNUS and directly into your wall socket instead. In the meantime, we will be making arrangements for a service personnel to check on your desk as soon as possible. Once we have servicing dates available, we will reach out to provide you with an update.”
To date they have not provided any timeline for when a technician might inspect the desk. They also haven’t provided any information on the risk involved or the potential severity of the risk involved. Furthermore, they refuse to provide a refund or a replacement.
Considering their refusal to provide any information and their refusal to voluntarily issue a recall, I would appreciate an independent investigation of this matter to determine the severity of the risk and whether a product recall is appropriate.
