Peloton Recalls All Treadmills After Child’s Death, Reports of 70 Injuries
Written by SOURCE on May 5, 2021
Exercise equipment company Peloton is recalling all of its treadmills following reports of one child death and 70 injuries in connection with its equipment.
CNN reports Peloton announced the recall of the treadmills on Wednesday, with approximately 125,000 treadmills included. The Consumer Product Safety Commission previously asked Peloton to recall its treadmills, but the company initially refused. The recall covers the Tread+, which retails for $4,295, and the $2,495 Tread.
“I want to be clear, Peloton made a mistake in our initial response to the CPSC’s request,” Peloton CEO John Foley said. “We should have engaged more productively with them from the outset. For that, I apologize.”
