Cybex International is recalling about 400 Olympic Decline free weight benches because the steel frame can break near the weld point and collapse forward. This defect can cause the bench to fall onto the user during an exercise routine, posing a serious impact injury hazard. The affected units were sold directly to gyms nationwide between December 2008 and September 2015. Owners of these benches should stop using them immediately and contact Cybex for a free replacement unit.
The frame on the bench can break near the weld point, causing the entire unit to collapse forward onto the person using it. While no injuries have been reported, there have been 10 reports of frames breaking during use.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled benches and contact Cybex to arrange to return the weight bench and for a free replacement unit. Cybex is directly contacting owners of the recalled benches.
