Bowflex Power Pro Recall / Ultimate Fitness Machine Recall and Treadmill Recall
The Nautilus Group, of Vancouver, Wash., announced a voluntary recall of the Bowflex Power Pro and the Bowflex Ultimate Fitness Machines. Consumers need to be aware of this recall and should immediately stop exercising with these products. According to the CPSC, the seat pin on the Power Pro with "Lat Tower" and Ultimate models can break or become disengaged, allowing the seat to move suddenly. Also, the incline support bracket on the Power Pro without a "Lat Tower" can break, allowing the incline bench to move suddenly. Both hazards pose a significant risk to the user.
Nautilus has received at least 46 reports of the seat pin failure, including two serious injuries requiring stitches to the head. Additionally, Nautilus received 42 reports of the incline support bracket failure including injuries to the back, neck and head. The recall involves 680,000 Power Pro units and 102,000 Ultimate units.

Nautilus Direct and C.P.S.C. have received at least 70 reports of the backboard benches breaking, resulting in at least 59 back, neck and shoulder injuries. Nautilus Direct has received at least 18 reports of the "Lat Tower" rotating forward and falling, resulting in at least 14 back, neck, shoulder, teeth, nose and head injuries, some of which required stitches. The recalled fitness machines are the Bowflex Power Pro XL, XTL and XTLU systems with the "Lat Tower" attachment. The "Lat Tower" attaches to the back of the bench, and has pull-down pulleys attached. The name "Bowflex" and the model name are printed on the front of the machine. The machine has 10 to 14 resistance rods that extend about 48-inches high and a backboard bench that is about 36-inches long. The recalled fitness machines were made in China, Taiwan and the U.S.A. Infomercials and specialized retail stores nationwide sold the recalled fitness machines from January 1995 through December 2003 for between $1,200 and $1,600.
