Fit for Life is recalling approximately 95,000 SPRI Ultra Heavy Resistance Bands (also known as resistance tubes) used for exercising. The rubber band can unexpectedly detach from the handle during use, potentially striking the user. There have been 10 reports of these incidents, with six people suffering injuries such as cuts, scrapes, and bruises. The affected black bands were sold exclusively at Walmart stores and online from August 2018 through July 2019. Consumers can receive a full refund in the form of store credit or a free replacement band.
The rubber resistance tube can separate from the handle while under tension, causing it to snap back and strike the consumer. This has resulted in reports of contusions, abrasions, and lacerations.
Consumers should stop using the recalled ultra-heavy resistance tubes immediately and contact Fit for Life for a refund in the form of an SPRI.com store credit for the amount equal to the purchase price or a free replacement resistance band.
