BowFlex Recalls Dangerous Dumbells

Heavy metal plates dislodge from handle, causing concussions, abrasions, broken toes, and contusions:

The product was actually a Nautilus design, apparently, and actually sounds pretty great … if you’re lucky. The really fucked up thing is they won’t actually give you a refund; they’re only comping people digital memberships or replacements which … is not same-same. Extra insulting is that they act like they’re being heroic and should be patted on the back for issuing the recall voluntarily when they aren’t legally obligated to. Sounds more like a move to reduce liability exposure.

Anyway. There is no metal plate that will fall on your head or big toe if you enjoy looking at porn.
