CPSC, ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. Announce Recall to Repair Epic T60 Treadmills

Reported: August 3, 2005 Initiated: August 3, 2005 #05594

Product Description

These are 2004 Epic T60 silver and gray colored treadmills with black handrails. They have model number EPTL81804 on a decal located on the front frame, near where the power cord enters the machine. "EPIC T60" is written on the hood of the treadmill.

Reason for Recall

If assembly instructions are not properly followed, the gas spring/shock can be damaged during assembly, if the walking platform is folded up and goes beyond the vertical position. This action can cause the shock to contact the treadmill roller and be damaged, and could propel shock parts out. The parts of the shock could hit a bystander, causing injury.

Remedy

Consumers should contact ICON Health & Fitness for information on how to determine whether their treadmills have been damaged and to obtain revised assembly instructions and warning decals. Damaged units will be inspected and repaired by ICON service technicians free of charge.
