On May 11th 2023, the famous indoor fitness equipment brand, Peloton, announced a voluntary recall of original Peloton model Bikes sold from January 2018 to May 2023 in the US, and is offering Members a replacement of their Bike’s seat post as the approved repair.
According to media, there are total 35 customer complaints with 13 reported injures. This voluntary recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Peloton is offering a free, replacement seat post to all US Peloton original Bike owners, which can be installed at home, without the need for a service call.
People may remember that two years ago, CPSC and Peloton announced the recall of 125,000 Tread+ treadmills following the death of a child and dozens of incidents. The hazard with the treadmills is that adult users, children, pets, and objects can be pulled underneath the rear roller, posing a risk of injury or death.
