Description
The recall includes FreeMotion Cable Cross and Dual Cable Cross Exercise Machines with model numbers GZFM6006 and GZFM6024. The recalled machines can be identified by the name Cable Cross located on the upper frame. The FreeMotion Cable Cross machines are used to exercise by pulling on cables on each side of the machine to raise a series of weight plates. The arms where the cables enter the machine can be moved through an arc using 13 position points spaced from straight down to straight up. An enclosed weight stack is situated directly in front of the user for selection of the amount of weight to be raised.
Hazard
The selector pin for the weight plates can slip out of its slot if the edges of the pin are worn, allowing the weights to drop suddenly. Falling weight plates can hit consumers using the machines.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using these machines and contact FreeMotion Fitness to receive a free repair kit.
Incidents and injuries
FreeMotion has received nine reports of consumers receiving contusions to the head and shoulders from falling weights after pins disengaged.
