Peloton remembers his treadmill after being hit several times and dying once

Peloton agrees to remember voluntarily on Avoid and Trample + Trampling in the US and Canada. The company partnered with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) following injury and death. It no longer sells stamping machines in the US.

Traction equipment memory (Peloton’s original record) follows more than 70 human, animal and / or object-oriented objects under Tread +, according to the CPSC. This includes reports of 29 injuries to children, such as second and third degree fractures and broken bones.

You can reschedule it until November 6th. If you want to hang on your Tread +, Peloton will help you move it for free to places where kids and pets can’t reach. The company is also introducing a feature that can shut down Tread + when you use it and require a four-digit license to unlock the device. Voluntary memory is for around 125,000 groups in the US.

The program of remember New Tread machines have been introduced due to the appearance of a window that can collapse and fall, possibly causing injury.

Peloton chief executive John Foley said the commission’s findings were “inaccurate and misleading” in April and said the company was “disrupted” and invited by the CPSC to go public. He apologized for Peloton’s response to the deal.

“Choosing to remember both things was the right thing to do for Peloton members and their families,” Foley said. in words. “I want to make it clear, Peloton made a mistake in responding to the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s first request to remember The Tread +. We have to deal with it very well from the beginning. For this reason, I apologize. Today’s announcement demonstrates our awareness that, by working closely with the CPSC, we can increase the safety awareness of our members. ”
