Millions of dumbbell owners urged to stop using product ‘immediately’
- Nearly four million BowFlex dumbbells have been recalled after over 300 complaints, including more than 100 injury claims, were filed.
- The recalled products are BowFlex 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells, sold at Costco, Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Amazon.
- Injuries reported include concussions, abrasions, broken toes, and contusions due to the dumbbells dislodging during use.
- Johnson Health Tech Trading advises customers to immediately stop using the dumbbells and seek a refund or voucher, contacting purchasers directly.
- Customers have expressed frustration with the recall process, particularly regarding the disposal of the weights and the value of the compensation offered, especially given BowFlex Inc.'s bankruptcy filing in March 2024.
