Ontel Recalls Isometric Exercise Devices Due to Projectile Hazard

Agency Publication Date: April 17, 2014

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ontel is recalling approximately 170,000 ISO7X isometric exercise devices because the black plastic handle grips on each end can break during use. If a handle breaks, internal parts like the spring coil and rod can be forcefully ejected from the metal shaft, posing a serious impact injury risk. There have been 10 reports of handles breaking, including five reports of impact injuries that caused punctures and lacerations. These devices were sold between October 2009 and August 2011 at sporting goods stores and through direct television response and online sites like buyiso7x.com.

Risk

The handle grips can fail under tension, causing the internal metal spring and rod to shoot out of the device like a projectile. This can strike the user or anyone nearby, resulting in deep cuts, puncture wounds, and other impact-related injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your exercise device to see if it is an ISO7X model. It is approximately 3 feet long with a center metal shaft and two black nylon straps.
  2. Verify the color of the handle grips; this recall specifically affects models with black handle grips on each end.
  3. Stop using the recalled ISO7X isometric exercise device immediately to prevent injury.
  4. Contact Ontel Products at (800) 245-0511 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email help@ontel.com to receive instructions on how to obtain a full refund.
