The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the following recalls in June, 2006:
- GazelleŽ Freestyle Cross Trainer and GazelleŽ Freestyle Cross Trainer Pro Gliders: over 154,000 sold via the Home Shopping Network. The pistons can come off during exercise, causing falls. Owners can get a free repair kit, but should not use the unit until it is repaired.
- Endurance Treadmills: The recall includes the T7, T7.1, T8 and T9.1 models of the Endurance Treadmills, sold in fitness stores from September 2004 through April 2005 for between $2,000 and $2,500. The treadmill can unexpectedly accelerate or decelerate, which can cause a fall. Endurance will schedule an in-home repair.
- 2006 Model Year Premier Console (sold with Vision Fitness treadmill frames): You can identify these by the word Premier or T9700HRT printed on the console face under the Vision Fitness logo. The treadmill can unexpectedly increase in speed and elevation when the User Programs 4 or 5 are set for longer than 30 minutes. Consumers should contact the retailer where purchased or Vision Fitness to make arrangements for a return, repair or replacement console.
