Fitness equipment maker says pedals on some of its older stationary bicycles can break and must be replaced.
Peloton Interactive is recalling about 27,000 bikes sold nationwide to replace pedals that can break and cut riders‘ legs. The fitness equipment maker said Thursday it has received 120 reports from users of pedals breaking, with 16 cases resulting in injuries. Five of those injured needed medical care, such as stitches to the lower leg, according to a notice posted by the Consumer Product and Safety Commission. Sales of the costly cycles have soared during the pandemic as Americans try to stay fit while stuck at home.
