Peloton finally gets approved repair for treadmill line after 90 injuries and one death
from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC has approved the installation of a rear guard to prevent accidents.
"The approved rear guard repair eliminates the potential for entrapment near the rear roller of the treadmill," a CPSC rep said in a statement."The rear guard repair features a breakaway design that pivots away from the treadmill when it comes into contact with a person or object, shutting off power to the unit and decelerating the belt."
Peloton is offering the rear guard for free to anyone who still owns a Tread+, as the original recall was voluntary. It remains to be seen if the company will start selling the treadmill again. This all started back in 2021 with the CPSC receiving over 350 incident reports detailing the treadmill pulling users down and under the device. This caused injury to 90 people and the accidental death of a child.
