The touchscreen on the treadmill can detach and fall

Peloton Interactive of New York is recalling about 1,500 Tread Treadmills.

The touchscreen on the treadmill can detach and fall, posing a risk of injury.

The firm is aware of 18 reports of the touchscreen loosening and six reports of the touchscreen detaching and falling.

While no injuries have been reported in the U.S., there have been reports of minor injuries such as abrasions, minor cuts and bruises in Canada and the United Kingdom.

This recall involves Peloton Tread treadmills with model TR02 with a running space of 59 inches, a 23.8-inch high definition (HD) touchscreen console and a non-slatted running belt.

The model number TR02 is printed on a black sticker located on the end cap in the front of the treadmill deck.

The treadmills have a touchscreen and are black with the Peloton logo on the monitor and the side rails.

The treadmills, manufactured in Taiwan, were were made available through a limited invitation-only release online at onepeloton.com and at Peloton showrooms from November 2020, through March 2021, for about $2,495.
