Indoor cycling company Peloton in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a voluntary recall of select Peloton Bikes. More than two million stationary bikes are affected by this Peloton bike recall. Owners should discontinue using the product immediately over seatpost failure concerns.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall of approximately 2.2 million Peloton model Model PL01 stationary bikes. Peloton received 35 reports concerning the recalled model, sold online and in Dick’s Sporting Goods stores for $1,400 between January 2018 to May 2023.
According to the CPSC report, Peloton users have experienced seatpost failures while in use, resulting in multiple injuries, including a fractured wrist, lacerations, and bruises due to falling from the bike.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled exercise bikes and contact Peloton for a free repair. Peloton is offering consumers a free seat post that can be self-installed.
