June 17, 2026 — A consumer recently reported a serious safety concern involving a HUANUO 32″ Small Electric Standing Desk, specifically its included AC/DC wall power supply. The incident, which occurred during the product’s initial setup, highlights potential electrical hazards despite no injuries being reported.
Product Details
Product: HUANUO ESD01-80A
Incident Overview
The incident took place on May 28, 2026, when an adult consumer was setting up a newly purchased HUANUO 32″ Small Electric Standing Desk at a residence. After fully assembling the desk, the consumer plugged in the accompanying AC/DC wall power supply (labeled YHPWR K24R10290100) for the very first time. Upon connection to a mains outlet, the power supply immediately sparked. Following the spark, the desk failed to power on or function.
The consumer promptly unplugged the damaged power supply and conducted an inspection. This revealed visible internal damage to the circuit board, including charring, soot, and clear signs of electrical arcing or thermal damage. Subsequent testing confirmed that the desk itself appears to be functional when powered by an external 29V DC supply, indicating that the failure was confined to the included power supply unit, not the desk frame or controller. Fortunately, there were no injuries associated with this incident.
Safety Concerns
This incident, while not resulting in injury, raises significant safety concerns due to the nature of the power supply failure:
- Immediate Electrical Hazard: The immediate sparking and internal damage observed in a mains-powered adapter during its first use indicate a significant risk of electric shock or fire. Electrical arcing, especially in a new device, suggests a critical component failure or defect that can generate intense heat and potentially ignite nearby combustible materials.
- Fire Risk: The presence of charring, soot, and thermal damage within the power supply circuit board points directly to a fire hazard. Had the power supply remained plugged in, or if the failure occurred near curtains, paper, or other flammable items, a serious electrical fire could have erupted, causing significant property damage or endangering lives.
- Shock Hazard: An internally damaged power supply can compromise insulation and expose live electrical components, posing a risk of electric shock to anyone handling the device, especially if they are unaware of the internal damage.
- Broad Consumer Impact: While this was a single reported incident, the failure of a power supply during its initial use suggests a potential manufacturing or design flaw that could affect other units from the same production batch, placing other consumers at risk.
- Property Damage Potential: Beyond the power supply itself, such a failure could damage the electrical outlet, surge protector, or even the building’s wiring if protection mechanisms fail or are insufficient.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own a HUANUO ESD01-80A 32″ Small Electric Standing Desk or any product utilizing a YHPWR K24R10290100 power supply, please take the following actions:
- Immediate Action: If your power supply sparks, emits smoke, or shows any signs of overheating or damage (such as a burning smell or unusual noises), immediately unplug it from the wall outlet. Do not attempt to use or repair a damaged power supply.
- Check Your Product: Inspect your HUANUO Electric Standing Desk power supply for any visible damage, charring, or signs of malfunction. Even if it appears normal, remain vigilant during its first uses.
- Prevention Measures: Always plug electronic devices into properly grounded outlets. Avoid using damaged cords or adapters. If a new product behaves unexpectedly or shows signs of electrical malfunction upon first use, discontinue use immediately.
- Contact Manufacturer/Retailer: If you experience a similar incident or have concerns about your power supply, contact BESTERGO INC. (the manufacturer) or Amazon.com (the retailer) to report the issue and inquire about a replacement.
- Report the Incident: Consider reporting any incidents involving sparking, overheating, or internal damage in power supplies to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.cpsc.gov. Your reports are crucial for identifying potential widespread issues and prompting recalls.
Manufacturer’s Response
On June 18, 2026, BESTERGO INC. provided a response to the incident report. The manufacturer stated that they take the matter seriously and conducted a thorough internal investigation upon receiving notification. Their engineering team reviewed the incident and performed targeted testing on the same model of power adapter (K24R10290100) from the relevant production batch (dated February 10, 2026, safety certification number 24011031HKG-001).
BESTERGO INC. reported that, based on their testing and analysis, no systemic design or manufacturing defect was found to affect the broader product line. They contacted the consumer to understand the usage environment and sequence of events, and on June 3, 2026, shipped a replacement power adapter. The manufacturer confirmed that the replacement adapter resolved the issue to the customer’s full satisfaction, with the desk now operating normally.
