Global Industries of Port Washington, NY is recalling about 5000 of its workbench power risers, power aprons and power shelves manufactured in China.
Global reports that misrouted wiring in the electrical outlets of these workbench components, and reverse polarity in some workbench power cords, could pose an electrical shock hazard to consumers. The company says that it has so far received eight reports of misrouted wires.
The recalled workbench components were sold through the Global catalog and the company’s website from January 2009 through December 2010 for between $85 and $516, depending on the workbench configuration selected.
