[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 months ago (1 child) Fair warning, Bowflex dumbbells are under an active recall. You should check and see which model you have. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 child) I've had them 5-10 years (maybe more), but better safe than sorry I guess.

So I only qualified for a $50 voucher towards a new model, which happened to release at the same time of this recall announcement. Looking further into the recall details, the total unita of this affected model sold were 3,844,200. Of that 3+ million units, there were 350 reported incidents, 111 of which resulted in an injury. I'll take my chances with these dumbbells I've been using for the past 5 years rather than them trying to upsell me on the new model. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Rooster326@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) This product is dangerous and could kill you. We're going to keep the hundreds and give you $50. No thanks. I would rather keep using it and sue you for actual cash later when/if I get hurt What a joke. $50 permalink fedilink source parent [–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) At that point my next set would be Power Blocks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rooster326@programming.dev 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) Are those like Mega Blocks? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 4 months ago They hurt less when stepped on permalink fedilink source parent
