Plain-English summary

WorkPro Momentum office chairs sold by Veyer LLC are being recalled due to a structural defect in the bolts that connect the chair's back to its base. These bolts can fail and separate, posing a fall hazard to users.

About 64,000 of these ergonomic chairs were sold between October 2021 and September 2024 in black (model 8517865) or gray (model 2864384). The chairs were sold for approximately $430 through Office Depot, OfficeMax, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and other online retailers.

Veyer has received seven reports of consumers falling out of the recalled chairs, resulting in two minor injuries. The model number can be found underneath the seat cushion.

Consumers should immediately stop using the chair and contact Veyer for a free repair kit, including a back bracket, three bolts, an Allen wrench, decorative cover, and installation instructions with free shipping.
