Description
The chrome dumbbells weigh between 2 and 50 pounds and have the Reebok or NordicTrack trademark name on the outside of the bells, along with the weight of the dumbbell.

Consumers should examine their dumbbells to make sure the weights on both ends are tightly secured to the handle. If they are loose, contact Jumpking to obtain instructions on how to receive the free repair kit.
Incidents and injuries
Jumpking has received nine reports of weights falling off handles, including five consumers who received injuries such as bruising, a broken nose, and a broken toe.
