Reebok International Ltd. Recalls Exercise Cycles

Bikes Pose Laceration Hazard

About 20,000 Reebok Studio Exercise Cycles are being recalled because the alloy cranks on the exercise cycles can break during use, posing a laceration and abrasion hazard to users. Reebok International Ltd. has received five reports of cranks breaking and causing lacerations. Three consumers required stitches.

The exercise bikes were manufactured by Fitness Associates Incorporated (F.A.I.), under license from Reebok International Ltd., of Canton, Mass. Note: F.A.I. is no longer in business.

The Reebok Studio Cycle is an upright exercise bike used primarily in fitness centers and other institutional settings. The recalled bicycle is black with silver cranks. The unit has an internal belt drive. The base of the bicycle is a single piece that is welded to the frame. The legs are two straight horizontal bars with rounded edges. There is a logo located on the side of the exercise cycle that shows a person riding a bicycle.

The bikes were sold directly to health clubs and specialty fitness dealers nationwide from 1997 through 2000. The bicycles were not sold directly to consumers.
