Why it’s dangerous
The structural integrity of the unit relies on a weld connecting the top and bottom posts. If this weld fails, the heavy top post can detach and fall, creating an impact hazard for anyone standing nearby.
Who’s affected
These large charging stations were sold to colleges, stadiums, and other public facilities nationwide between October 2014 and February 2017. Anyone working in or visiting these venues during that period may have been exposed to the hazard.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for a tree-shaped charging station with aluminum panels covering three sides of the top post. The words "Street Charge" should be etched on the product panels. The unit is approximately 150 inches tall by 63 inches wide by 54 inches deep.
