Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Johnson Health Tech is recalling about 1,100 Magnum and Matrix Fitness 900 Pro Series multi-station strength training towers. The plastic connectors that join the towers can break or slide out of place during use, which has already caused three reported incidents, including one laceration near a person's eye. These machines were sold at commercial fitness centers, schools, and municipal facilities between December 2008 and November 2013 for between $1,800 and $3,800.

Risk

The plastic connectors linking the equipment towers can fail or dislodge, causing the heavy tower components to shift or collapse unexpectedly. This poses a significant risk of impact and laceration injuries to anyone using or standing near the machines.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the Magnum and Matrix Fitness 900 Pro Series multi-station strength training towers and prevent others from accessing them.
  2. Identify your equipment by looking for the 'Magnum' or 'Matrix' brand name on the serial number label located at the base of each unit.
  3. Check if your machine is a multi-station configuration, such as an adjustable pulley, dual adjustable pulley, triceps push down, or bicep/tricep pull down tower.
  4. Contact Johnson Health Tech North America toll-free at 866-218-3674 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday to schedule a free repair.
