The approved rear guard, which was announced jointly with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, comes after 125,000 Tread+ treadmills were recalled in 2021 after being linked to a child’s death and other injuries.

U.S. safety officials warned how adult users, children, pets, and objects could be "pulled underneath the rear roller, posing a risk of injury or death," and customers were told to stop using the product.Since the May 2021 recall, there have been 279 additional reported incidents and 61 additional reports of injuries, Peloton said in a joint statement with the CPSC.

The new safety guard features a breakaway design that pivots away from the treadmill when it comes into contact with a person or object, shutting off power to the unit and decelerating the belt, Peloton and the CPSC said.The guard is still being manufactured and is expected to be available in the fall, but customers can register in advance for the free repair online at www.onepeloton.com and click on "Product Recalls" at the bottom of the page or by clicking here.
