- The hazard
- The power cord can become loose from the treadmill's power socket, posing a fire hazard.
- Injuries
- Matrix Fitness has received one report of a fire in a fitness facility since the last recall, in addition to the 58 reported in the January 2022 recall, of the treadmill's power cord and socket sparking, smoking, and/or melting, including seven reports of fire; two resulting in property damage. No injuries have been reported.
- The remedy
- Exercise facilities should inspect their treadmills to confirm whether they have a power cord bracket installed on the unit. If the bracket is not already installed, facilities should ensure that the power cord is completely inserted into the power socket on the treadmills prior to each use, until repaired. Contact Johnson Health Tech North America to schedule a free installation of a power cord bracket or to order a power cord bracket for self-installation. Johnson Health Tech North America is contacting all known purchasers directly.
