CPSC, ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. Announce Recall to Repair Epic T60 Treadmills
CPSC recall 05594 · announced August 3, 2005 · Icon Health & Fitness · 16,700 units affected
The product
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.
The hazard
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.
What to do (per CPSC)
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.
