The subpoena required Peloton to name the child with family contact information within 24 hours so the agency could continue investigating The child's family 'asked us not to provide the information to the CPSC,' she said. However, officials claimed that the company complied. Jessica Kleiman, a spokesperson for Peloton, said that the company did not provide personal information about the child to the agency because it 'respects its customers' privacy,' the outlet reported. The urgent warning comes less than a month after Peloton announced a child had been killed by a Peloton Tread+ and federal investigators announced a probe into the incident.įederal regulators told the Washington Post this week that the Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued an administrative subpoena requiring Peloton to name the child with family contact information within 24 hours so the agency could continue investigating. 'Any owner of a treadmill – whether made by Peloton or not – should follow these warnings, as they are included in the applicable safety standards, which the Peloton Tread+ meets.' 'Peloton warns Members not to let children use the Tread+ and to keep children, pets, and objects away from the Tread+ at all times,' said Peloton. The company said the machine is 'not for children under 16' and that it warns users to keep children and pets away from it. 'Like all motorised exercise equipment, the Tread+ can pose hazards if the warnings and safety instructions are not followed.' The boy ends up with only his legs sticking out from under the machine. 'The Tread+ is safe for Members to use in their homes and comes with safety instructions and warnings to ensure its safe use. 'The Consumer Product Safety Commission's unilateral press release about the Peloton Tread+ treadmill is inaccurate and misleading,' the statement read.
Peloton fired back at the commission's notice claiming in a statement that the warning is 'inaccurate and misleading' and that the Tread+ is safe so long as safety instructions are followed. The CPSC said the machine should be unplugged and stored safely away when not in use and any incidents reported to CPSC. If consumers do continue to use the product, they should keep it in a locked room, out of reach of children and pets and keep all objects away from it, the commission said.
The machine poses 'serious risks to children for abrasions, fractures, and death', it said.Ĭonsumers are being urged to stop using the Peloton Tread+ immediately if there are small children or pets at home. 'Reports of a pet and objects being sucked beneath the Tread+ also suggest possible harm to the user if the user loses balance as a result.'
He holds the ball toward the back of the treadmill and the ball is seen being pulled under the machine, dragging the boy's arms with it The CPSC said it has so far learned of 39 incidents involving small children and a pet being injured beneath the Peloton Tread+ machines, including the death of one child.ĭespite the safety concerns, Peloton is fighting a federal safety recall and has allegedly delayed an investigation into the potential safety problems. The footage was released Saturday by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) as part of an urgent warning to consumers about the dangers of the popular home fitness equipment. Peloton fitness equipment, which as a cult following, isn't available in Australia yet, but the company is planning on entering the market later this year.
