Consumer safety warning over exercise machine in US
Consumers have been warned about the danger of the popular Peloton Tread+ exercise machine after multiple incidents of small
children and a pet being injured beneath the machines. The warning comes from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
less than a month after Peloton itself released news of a child’s death by a Peloton Tread+ and the CPSC’s announcement of
an investigation into that incident. The agency said it is continuing to investigate all known incidents of injury or death
related to the Peloton Tread+.
