Rogue Fitness Barbell Brackets Recalled

Coulter Ventures isa recalling about 5,500 Rogue Fitness barbell brackets. The weld between the bracket and the pin that holds the barbell bracket in place on a weightlifting rack can break, causing the weights to fall, and posing an injury hazard to consumers.

This recall involves Rogue Fitness J-Cup brackets used to hold barbells on weightlifting racks. The black metal brackets are used with the Rogue Fitness SPX Squat Press Stand, R-3 Racks, R-4 Racks and Infinity Rigs.

The brackets were sold at Rogue Fitness's website, www.roguefitness.com from March 2009 through December 2010 for about $40. They were also sold as part of weightlifting racks and stands for between $350 and $3,400. They were made in the United States.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled barbell brackets and contact Coulter to receive free replacement brackets.
