Peloton is recalling its treadmills.
Health Canada says 5513 units sold in Canada are considered hazardous and could cause injury. The touchscreen on the treadmill have reportedly been falling off while people are exercising. There have been 83 reported incidents so far.
This recall involves ‘Peloton Tread’ treadmills with model TR02. The recalled Tread has a running space of 59 inches, a 23.8-inch high definition (HD) touchscreen console and a non-slatted running belt. The model number TR02 is printed on a black sticker located on the end cap in the front of the treadmill deck. The treadmills have a touchscreen and are black with the Peloton logo on the monitor and the side rails. The ‘Peloton Tread+’ is not included in the recall, which are only sold in the United States.
The affected products were sold in Canada between February 2021 and May 2021.
You should immediately stop using the recalled treadmills and contact Peloton for a full refund. Peloton is offering consumers who do not want a refund the option of waiting for a free inspection and repair that will secure the touchscreen to the treadmill to help prevent future incidents.
For more information, consumers can contact Peloton by telephone at 1-833-821-0099 from 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. EST Monday through Sunday or by email: support@onepeloton.ca.
