National recall issued and sales halted for Peloton treadmills

Peloton is recalling thousands of its treadmills and has halted sales in Canada.

The announcement comes less than a month after the company denied the machines were dangerous even though they were linked to the death of a child and injuries of 29 others.

According to Health Canada, the recall involves Peloton Tread treadmills with model number TR02, a model featuring a detachable touchscreen that can fall and thus poses a risk of injury.

“There have been reports of minor injuries such as abrasions, minor cuts, and bruises in Canada,” as a result, the release said.

Anyone who has purchased the affected product “should immediately stop using the recalled treadmills and contact Peloton for a full refund,” the company said.

For customers who do not want a refund, Pelton said it is also offering the option of waiting for a free inspection and repair that will secure the touchscreen to the treadmill to help prevent future incidents.

The affected products were sold as part of a limited invitation-only release online and at Peloton showrooms from November 2020 through March 2021 for about $2,495.
