Peloton recalls treadmills in US over safety concerns after child dies

Recall is a major reversal for company that insisted its treadmills were safe despite dozens of reported injuries

The fitness company Peloton is recalling its two popular treadmills in the US over safety concerns after the death of a child and dozens of other injuries. Peloton has apologized for pushing back against federal safety officials who warned the public last month of the dangers of using them.

The recall is a major reversal for a company that insisted its Tread and Tread+ treadmills were safe, despite reports by users.
