No incident, no one hurt Made Nov 16, 2020, sent to the company Apr 9, 2021, published by CPSC Apr 23, 2021
The product, in the report: The Marcy Club Folding Exercise is a small, lightweight exercise bike designed for home use, particularly in small rooms or apartments. However, once assembled, I discovered that it is designed in such a way that a short adult, such as myself, (I’m 5’3”) CANNOT use the bike as the seat, even at it’s lowest setting, is TOO HIGH to mount without risking a fall and a serious injury. There is NO WARNING on the product that is it unsafe for people under a certain height.
I purchased a Marcy Club Folding Exercise Bike after seeing it online. I needed a small bike for a small room. However, when the bike was assembled, I discovered a serious design flaw. The seat, at it’s LOWEST setting was TOO HIGH for me to safely mount the bike without risking a fall and a serious injury. This bike is designed in such a way that a TALL person can use it safely, but not someone who is 5’3.” Thankfully I was NOT injured. The bike was returned and I got a full refund. However there was NO WARNING that this bike is not suitable for adults under a certain height.

Emergency room Made May 5, 2018, sent to the company Jul 13, 2018, published by CPSC Jul 27, 2018
The product, in the report: Marcy Club Revolution Trainer XJ-3220. Black and green molded frame, indoor spinning bike.
I purchased the Marcy Club Revolution Trainer bike, model XJ-3220, made by Impex from Amazon on March 3, 2018
On March 31, 2018 while operating the bike in a sitting flat road ride, my right foot slipped off the pedal and I was unable to recover in time to move my shin out of the way of the revolving bike pedal. The right pedal spun around at the accelerated rate of my ride and gouged my shin to the bone in one place, while deeply lacerating my shin in a second location. I required twenty-seven stitches, two x-rays, and two hypodermic infusions of anesthesia directly into the tissue around the wound before the doctor could perform the repair procedure.
Ten stitches sewed the remaining tissue under the skin close enough for the doctor to smooth the retracted upper skin over, attaching the upper skin with seventeen additional stitches to cover the wounds and avoid infection of the exposed bone. The other gaping areas required medical glue so the skin would not pull away and break the stitches before the bone deep wound could heal.
Not only did I miss a day of work that night, I was also on restrictive movement (including standing or walking) until the stitches were removed ten days later. The wound, healing from the outside in, caused me to often walk with a slight limp as the tissues slowly fused together.
On close inspection of the bike pedal, after I removed the pieces of skin stuck on the right side between the metal rung and the canvas strap, I noticed the protruding plastic spikes attaching the reflectors. These reflector spikes are responsible for my shin gouge; and the pedal’s uncovered jagged edges are responsible for the scraping lacerations on the sides of the gouge wounds, which have left life long scars.
This is a poorly manufactured and unsafe bike. For a few more dollars safety precautions could have been taken to cover the pedal’s metal edges in soft rubberized plastic, and cut the pedal reflector spikes flush against the bike pedal’s metal bracket. As a matter of fact, the pedal reflector has no real use on an indoor bike, and has caused injury, scarring, and a significant medical intervention.

No one hurt Made Feb 13, 2017, sent to the company Mar 3, 2017, published by CPSC Mar 17, 2017
The product, in the report: 150 lb capacity Home Gym weight machine
I ordered from WalMart the Marcy MWM-977 Home Gym -- manufactured by IMPEX Fitness Products. The merchandise was delivered by [REDACTED], and I noted no visible damage to the exterior packaging. However, I narrowly avoided a nasty laceration while unpacking the contents. A sheet metal cowling described on the parts list as a “stack cover” had a razor sharp 8mm jagged metal protrusion on one end. That same day I emailed IMPEX, advised them of what appeared to be a sloppy manufacturing hazard, and offered to send them photos. I also requested an immediate replacement stack cover. That was on January 26, 2017. I never received any response whatsoever to the email.

No one hurt Made Jan 6, 2015, sent to the company Feb 4, 2015, published by CPSC Feb 27, 2015
The product, in the report: See the description previously supplied. Here is the link to a picture again: http://www.target.com/p/marcy-wedge-wedge/-/A-13019309
Product is the Marcy Wedge forearm and wrist exerciser. IMPEX may be the parent company for Marcy. The device has a strong spring in a cylinder. The spring is connected to a cable under tension. The cable is fastened to a hand grip for exercising the wrist and forearm. While using the device the plastic fastener between the cable and the hand grip failed. THe fastener broke into 4 pieces. Since the cable was under high tension the pieces were flying around the room. One piece hit a wall and put a small impression in it. Individuals could have had their eye damaged. This is the second of these products I have owned that has failed in the spring and cable assembly area.
This is a link to a picture of the device. Note the tension on the small cable. Where this attaches to the pivoting hand grip is where the fastener failed.
