Summary

Valor Fitness has recalled approximately 100 BF-38 Flat/Incline/Decline Olympic Benches because a weld on the frame can break during use. This defect poses a risk of the weight bench collapsing while a consumer is exercising with free weights. No injuries have been reported at this time. These benches feature gray steel frames with black multi-position pads and were sold online through Valor Fitness websites between January and September 2014.

Risk

The weld joining the front leg to the main frame can break, causing the bench to collapse suddenly. This could lead to serious injury if the user is supporting heavy weights when the structure fails.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your weight bench to see if it is the Valor Fitness BF-38 model. Look for the Valor Fitness logo and model number BF-38 on the main cross frame between the two vertical uprights.
  2. Identify the unit by its physical characteristics: a gray steel frame measuring 53 inches long by 43 inches wide by 47 inches tall with black seat and back pads.
  3. Immediately stop using the weight bench if it matches the recalled model.
  4. Contact Valor Fitness toll-free at 844-277-1641 Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. ET to arrange for a free repair. You can also email Info@valorfitness.com or visit www.valorfitness.com and click on 'CPSC Information' in the Help column.
