Which ones does it cover?
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to stop using Sperax Walking Pads and Treadmills immediately because they pose fall, burn and fire hazards to consumers. Affected models include Pro, Q1, RM-01 and RM-02. The products can suddenly and unexpectedly change speeds and come to an abrupt stop, causing consumers to lose their balance, fall, and suffer serious injuries. CPSC is aware of 201 reports of uncontrollable speed, abrupt stops and similar stability-related failures, resulting in at least 66 falls or injuries, including at least one concussion that required medical attention. Additionally, CPSC is aware of 573 reports of overheating, fires and other thermal incidents, including four reports of minor burns. The importer Quanzhou Wentelai Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd., d/b/a Sperax, has refused to agree to an acceptable recall. The walking pads and treadmills were marketed and sold under the Sperax brand name and are black with red trim. The model number is located on a label near the power switch. The walking pads and treadmills were sold online via e-commerce platforms, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, NewEgg.com and eBay.com. The products were manufactured in China. CPSC urges consumers to stop using the walking pads and treadmills immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous products. Report incidents involving the Sperax Walking Pads or Treadmills, or any product-related injury, to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov. Under section 6(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Act, the CPSC is required to include with this press release any comments from the manufacturer or a summary thereof.
