Bowflex Power Pro and Ultimate Fitness Machine Recalls

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with The Nautilus Group, of Vancouver, Wash., announced voluntary recalls of the Bowflex Power Pro and the Bowflex Ultimate Fitness Machines. Consumers should immediately stop exercising with these products.

According to the CPSC, the seat pin on the Power Pro with "Lat Tower" and Ultimate models can break or become disengaged, allowing the seat to move suddenly. Also, the incline support bracket on the Power Pro without a "Lat Tower" can break, allowing the incline bench to move suddenly. Both hazards pose a significant risk to the user.

Nautilus has received at least 46 reports of the seat pin failure, including two serious injuries requiring stitches to the head. Additionally, Nautilus received 42 reports of the incline support bracket failure including injuries to the back, neck and head. The recall involves 680,000 Power Pro units and 102,000 Ultimate units.

The Law Offices of Nadrich & Cohen is currently investigating injury claims throughout the country due to the use of these machines.
