Peloton has recalled about 2.2 million of its Model PL01 exercise bikes because the seat post assembly can break during use, posing fall and injury hazards to the user.
The announcement was made by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The recall is immediate.
This recall involves Peloton Bikes with model number PL01. The bike measures 4 ft. long x 2 ft. wide, and has an adjustable seat, handlebar, and screen, which tilts up and down to accommodate different heights. The Peloton name and the model number are displayed on the inside front fork, near the flywheel.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled exercise bikes. Peloton is offering consumers a free seat post that can be self-installed.
The company has received 35 reports of the seat post breaking and detaching from the bike during use, including 13 reports of injuries including a fractured wrist, lacerations and bruises due to falling from the bike.
The bikes were sold through the company and Dick’s Sporting Goods stores nationwide and online at Onepeloton.com, Amazon.com and dicksportinggoods.com from January 2018 through May 2023 for about $1,400.
