DICK'S Sporting Goods is recalling about 10,000 Ethos Pull-Up Assist units because a plastic clip on the device can break during use. The equipment consists of three red resistance bands connected by a black nylon web band with a metal carabiner. There have been seven reports of the equipment breaking, resulting in six lacerations, including one incident requiring stitches and another requiring staples. The recalled units were sold at DICK'S Sporting Goods stores and online from March 2017 through February 2019 for about $35.
The plastic clip on the nylon strap can snap while under tension, causing the equipment to fail and potentially striking the user, which has resulted in several reports of severe lacerations requiring medical intervention.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Ethos Pull-Up Assist and return it to the nearest DICK's Sporting Goods store. Consumers with a receipt will receive a full refund and consumers without a receipt will receive a store credit.
