Peloton has announced a recall of one of their popular exercise bikes, affecting approximately 2.2 million machines.
The recall was issued on Thursday after it was discovered that the bike's seat could break during use, posing a serious fall and injury risk to users.
The recalled bikes feature the model number PL01 and can be identified by the Peloton name and model number displayed on the inside front fork near the flywheel.
Peloton is urging consumers who own the defective bikes to immediately cease using them and get in touch with the company.
To remedy the situation, Peloton is providing a free seat post that they say can be easily installed by customers.
According to the company, there have been 35 reported incidents of seat posts breaking and detaching from the bike during use. Among these cases, 13 users have reported injuries, including a fractured wrist, lacerations, and bruises resulting from falls off the bike.
The recalled bikes were sold at Peloton and Dick's Sporting Goods stores nationwide, as well as online through Onepeloton.com, Amazon.com, and Dicksportinggoods.com.
The bikes were available for purchase from January 2018 until May 2023, with a retail price of around $1,400.
Consumers can contact Peloton directly or visit the company's website for more information on the recall or to request a free seat replacement.
