Nordic Track, Reebok Inversion Benches Recalled

December 5, 2007
Icon Health & Fitness is recalling about 22,000 Nordic Track and Reebok inversion benches. The ankle clamp mechanism can release unexpectedly, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

Icon has received five reports of injuries to consumers including contusions, lacerations and back pain.

The recalled inversion benches invert a user by securing the ankles in a locking device and rotating the bench. The Nordic Track bench is model number 831.14595.0 and the Reebok bench is model number RBBE1996.0. The model number is located under the seat of the bench.

The benches were made in China. They were sold at sporting goods stores nationwide from September 2006 through January 2007 for about $200.

Consumers should stop using the inversion benches immediately and contact the firm to receive a free repair kit.
