Fitness Quest Ab Lounge

The serial number is located on a label on the bottom of the front frame. Ab Lounge™ exercise products with straight brackets that do not fold are not part of this recall.

The machines were sold through infomercials, the Internet, catalogs and at discount department and sporting goods stores, including Wal-Mart and Dicks Sporting Goods, nationwide since October 2003 for between $100 and $210.

Consumers should stop using these exercisers and contact the firm for a free repair kit. The firm is contacting all consumers who purchased the Ab Lounge directly from Fitness Quest via infomercial or website. Due to the large number of repair kits required to meet demand, these consumers may experience a delay of a few weeks before they receive their kits. Any consumer who owns an Ab Lounge purchased at a retail store should stop using the equipment and contact Fitness Quest immediately to receive the repair kit.

Consumer Contact: Contact Fitness Quest at (800) 321-9236 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or log on to www.fitnessquest.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
