Precor Resolute Cable Multi-Station Exercise Equipment Recall Overview
Precor has issued a recall for its Resolute Cable Multi-Station Exercise Equipment due to a significant impact injury hazard. The recall was prompted by reports that the pop-pin can fail to fully engage in the exercise equipment’s vertical rail and cause the pulley carriage to drop unexpectedly during use, posing an impact injury hazard to users. This recall affects nearly a thousand units sold to gyms, fitness centers, and private facilities across the United States.
Recalled Product Details:
- Product Name: Precor Resolute Cable Multi-Station Exercise Equipment
- Hazard: Pop-pin can fail to fully engage, posing impact injury hazards
- Units Recalled: Approximately 1,000 units
- Reported Incidents: Multiple reports of weight stack detachment, including injuries such as fractures, bruising, and sprains.
Consumers and facilities are urged to stop using the recalled exercise equipment immediately and contact Precor for a free repair or replacement. Continuing to use the defective equipment increases the risk of severe injuries.
Understanding Product Liability in Exercise Equipment Injury Cases
Manufacturers and distributors of fitness equipment have a duty to ensure their products are safe for users. When defective products cause harm, product liability law provides a pathway for injured individuals to pursue compensation. In the case of the Precor Resolute recall, victims who have been injured due to weight stack detachment may be eligible to file a claim.
The three primary types of product liability claims include:
- Design Defect: This arises when the product’s design is inherently unsafe. If the design of the pins or cables in the Precor equipment makes them prone to fail during normal use, this would constitute a design defect.
- Manufacturing Defect: A manufacturing defect occurs when a product is properly designed but becomes dangerous due to errors during production. If faulty materials or assembly caused certain pins to fail, this could be classified as a manufacturing defect.
- Failure to Warn: Manufacturers are required to provide clear instructions and warnings about potential risks associated with their products. If Precor failed to adequately warn consumers or facilities about the risks, they may be liable under failure to warn.
Compensation for Injuries from Defective Exercise Equipment
If you or someone you know were injured while using a recalled Precor Resolute Cable Multi-Station, you may be entitled to compensation for various damages, including:
- Medical Expenses: Injuries from impact incidents can range from minor bruises to severe fractures or head injuries. Compensation can cover emergency care, surgeries, physical therapy, and long-term treatment costs.
- Lost Wages: If your injuries caused you to miss work or reduced your ability to earn income, you may be entitled to recover lost wages, including potential future earnings if the injury results in long-term disability.
- Pain and Suffering: Impact injuries can lead to significant physical pain and emotional trauma, including fear of using fitness equipment. Compensation for pain and suffering accounts for both physical and emotional harm.
- Property Damage: If the equipment failure caused damage to nearby property, such as flooring or other fitness machines, you may be able to recover the costs of repair or replacement.
- Punitive Damages: In cases where the manufacturer’s negligence was particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded. These damages serve to punish the manufacturer and deter similar conduct in the future.
Steps to Take If You’ve Been Injured by Defective Exercise Equipment
If you or a loved one were injured while using a recalled Precor Resolute Cable Multi-Station, taking the following steps can help protect your legal rights and strengthen your product liability claim:
- Seek Medical Attention: Injuries from exercise equipment malfunctions should be assessed by a medical professional immediately. Keep detailed records of all treatments, diagnoses, and associated medical expenses.
- Document the Incident: Take photos of the defective equipment, any visible injuries, and any surrounding damage caused by the malfunction. Record the date, time, and details of the incident, including how the injury occurred.
- Preserve the Equipment: If possible, ensure that the defective equipment is not repaired or removed from the location where the incident occurred until it has been inspected. This evidence is critical to your case.
- Report the Issue: Notify Precor and the facility where the equipment was located about the incident. Follow any recall instructions provided by the manufacturer.
- Consult an Experienced Product Liability Attorney: An experienced attorney can help you navigate the complexities of product liability law, gather evidence, and pursue the compensation you deserve.
