Peloton is recalling 2.2 million exercise bikes with model number PL01 that were sold in the U.S. between January 2018 and May 2023 due to safety concerns with the bike’s seat post breaking and detaching during use. There have been 35 reported incidents, including 13 users suffering from injuries such as broken wrists, lacerations, and bruises. Consumers are advised to stop using the bikes immediately and contact Peloton for a free repair, which includes a free seat post for self-installation. This is the second time in two years that Peloton has recalled its equipment. In a previous incident earlier this year, Peloton was fined $19 million for failing to report a known defect in its Tread+ exercise machines, which resulted in more than 150 reported incidents of injuries or deaths.
