No one hurt Made Jun 4, 2022, sent to the company Jun 9, 2022, published by CPSC Jun 27, 2022
The product, in the report: It’s a Stairmaster SC5, with the serial number 155015DAY14370049.
I own a Stairmaster SC5 stepper, and both of the pedal arms have broken on separate occasions while I was using it. This is a solid metal piece that supports the pedal. When it breaks, the pedal loses its support and falls to the ground, which risks injury to the user. The first time this happened was in late 2021 with the left side pedal. I got the left pedal fixed. The most recent occurrence was June 4, 2022. The Stairmaster SC5 was bought new in 2014 and has only had light home use. It is in a climate controlled room indoors, away from weather or excessive moisture.

The product, in the report: Stairmaster SM5 Commercial Stepmill
LA FITNESS SIGNATURE CLUB AT WOODLAND HILLS HAVE Sm5 STEPMASTER machines which cause injuries to people because there are two major BAD designs: 1. the speed up or down button cannot be only 1/8 inch wide, and it should be at least as wide as the purple egg shape with one single color. 2. the last step should not rolled down such that people stand on it will fall and break their knee or lower leg, and it should be designed as a commercial escalator type where people stand on the lowest step will never fall.
