Rep Fitness is recalling about 1,940 Strap Safety brackets used with PR-4000 and PR-5000 weightlifting racks. The brackets can be improperly welded, which can cause them to break and detach from the squat stand if a heavy weight is suddenly dropped on them. While three reports of the brackets breaking have been received, no injuries have been reported. These black brackets were sold exclusively online at repfitness.com between April 2020 and December 2020.
If the metal brackets are poorly welded, they can snap under the force of a falling barbell. This causes the safety strap to fail and the weight to fall completely, posing a serious risk of impact injuries to the user.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled brackets and contact Rep Fitness for free replacement brackets. Rep Fitness is directly contacting all known purchasers of the recalled brackets.
