Elliptical Exercise Gliders Recalled by Thane Due to Fall Hazard; New Instructions to Be Provided

CPSC · 09754 · published 2009-07-21

CPSC campaign 09754

Hazard

The written instructions incorrectly identify the proper location of the spring washer. An incorrectly installed spring washer can put undue stress on bolts, causing them to loosen, which poses a fall hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the recalled machines until they inspect their unit and confirm that the spring washer is in the correct location. Thane is directly contacting consumers to provide new assembly instructions, which can also be located on the firm's Web site.

The text above is quoted verbatim from the CPSC record. Confirm the affected units and the remedy with the manufacturer or CPSC. Recall data may be incomplete, delayed, or superseded.
