CPSC Recalls FitRx Adjustable Dumbbells After Reports of Injuries from Dislodging Weights The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued a recall for FitRx SmartBell Quick-Select 5-52.5lbs Adjustable Dumbbells following reports of injuries caused by dislodging weights. The recall, announced on April 23, affects 50,000 units of the product, which is linked to at least six incidents of harm, including broken toes, bruises, and cuts. The CPSC cited the risk of serious injury due to the potential for weights to detach during use, creating an impact hazard. The recalled product, model number 8361, is a black dumbbell with red accents that can be adjusted to weights ranging from 5 pounds to 52.5 pounds. It features handles, weight plates, and a storage tray, with the adjustment mechanism requiring users to turn the handle while the dumbbell is placed on the tray. The model and serial numbers are located on the side of the storage tray, alongside the brand name "FitRx." Affected serial numbers include KK23288361 through KK23388361 and KK207608361 through KK213478361. The dumbbells were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and online from January 2024 through November 2024 for approximately $100. Customers are instructed to stop using the product immediately and are encouraged to contact FitRx for a free replacement. To qualify for the replacement, users must write "recalled" in permanent marker across the dumbbell tray, register for the recall, and dispose of the recalled unit. The CPSC emphasized that the recall is a precautionary measure to prevent further injuries. FitRx, the manufacturer, has urged customers to discontinue use of the product and follow the recall instructions.#walmart #fitrx #cpsc #adjustable_dumbbells #recall
