Peloton, the popular fitness equipment company, has issued a safety recall for 2.2 million of its exercise bikes in the US and Canada. The recall includes both the Peloton Tread+ and Peloton Bike+ models due to safety concerns.
Reasons for the recall
The recall was issued due to safety concerns with the Peloton Tread+ and Peloton Bike+ models. The Peloton Tread+ was previously recalled in May 2021 after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a warning about the product following reports of injuries and a child’s death. The CPSC and Peloton have now advised customers to stop using the affected products immediately.
Impacts on Peloton and its customers
The recall is likely to have a significant impact on Peloton and its customers. Peloton has already suffered a significant blow to its reputation due to the safety concerns with its Tread+ product earlier this year. The recall is also likely to be costly for Peloton, with estimates suggesting that it could cost the company tens of millions of dollars.

If you own a Peloton Tread+ or Peloton Bike+, you should check if your product is affected by the recall. To check, visit Peloton’s website or contact the company directly. Peloton has also provided instructions on how to find the model and serial number of your bike.
