The product, in the report: Olympic style lifting bar that is used for lifting up to 500lbs
I bought a weight lifting bar from powersystems and used this product for about 5 years. The bar snapped in two this past week. I used the bar with weight that was far below the recommended 500 lbs and specifically the way it is recommended by lifting experts etc. I contacted the company and sent pictures showing the clean break of the bar. I called the company and asked them to at least investigate. They offered to sell me another bar at a discounted price. I declined and again asked them to look at the photos and either consider testing there products to ensure that they can in fact hold weight and for longer than the 90 day warrenty or perhaps investigate to see if my bar was in fact defective. I have lifted for 35 years and never seen a bar snap in two. I was lucky that the person lifting when the bar snapped in half did not get injured. I am willing to send along the photos to show my point. I would have expected the product safety folks for this company to at least look into this before someone else has the same issue and is not as lucky.
