CAVEAT #PELOTON MEMORY LANE | CPSC Warns Consumers: #Stop Using the Peloton Tread+ | #Peloton Tread+ #Treadmill #Safety_Incident | #Urgent_Warning Comes After Agency Finds One Death and Dozens of Incidents of #Children Being Sucked #Beneath the #Tread+ (Formerly Known as the Tread)
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers about the danger of popular Peloton Tread+ exercise machine after multiple incidents of small children and a pet being injured beneath the machines. The Commission has found that the public health and safety requires this notice to warn the public quickly of the hazard.
The urgent warning comes less than a month after Peloton itself released news of a child’s death by a Peloton Tread+ and CPSC’s announcement of an investigation into that incident.
The agency is continuing to investigate all known incidents of injury or death related to the Peloton Tread+.
What should consumers do now?
- Stop using the Peloton Tread+ if there are small children or pets at home. Incidents suggest that children may be seriously injured while the Tread+ is being used by an adult, not just when a child has unsupervised access to the machine.
- If consumers must continue to use the product, CPSC urges consumers to use the product only in a locked room, to prevent access to children and pets while the treadmill is in use. Keep all objects, including exercise balls and other equipment, away from the treadmill.
- When not in use, unplug the Tread+ and store the safety key away from the device and out of reach of children.
- Report any Peloton Tread+ incidents to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov or to CPSC’s Hotline at 800-638-2772.
Tread+ treadmills are sold directly to consumers via retail showrooms, and online at www.onepeloton.com.
Model No. TR-01 was called “Tread” from August 2018 to September 2020, when it was renamed “Tread+”.
