Nearly 4 million units of the now recalled BowFlex dumbbells have been sold across the country.

Retailers including Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, and Dick’s Sporting Goods all sold them to customers.

But now shoppers have been warned to immediately stop using them and to get a refund.

Over 300 reports have been filed about the adjustable dumbbells as many have had the weight plates dislodged during use.

According to the US Consumer Product Safetyu Commission, 111 people have reported injuries from this issue.

They include broken toes, contusions, concussions and abrasions.

Over 3.8 million units have been recalled by BowFlex as a result.

The specific sets causing issues are the BowFlex 552, 52.5-lb. Adjustable Dumbbells and the BowFlex 1090, 90-lb. Adjustable Dumbbells.

Customers must check to see if theirs have the serial numbers deeming them to be part of the recall.

A full list can be found below.

The model and serial numbers are printed on a sticker on the bottom of the molded plastic tray used to hold the weight.

According to the CPSC, affected dumbbells can go all the way back to 2004.

They have been sold across several retailers and online from as “early 2004 through April 2024 by BowFlex Inc,” the recall warning states.

“And from May 2024 through May 2025 by Johnson Health Tech Trading Inc. for between $200 and $800.”

“BowFlex Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2024,” the CPSC explained.

“Johnson Health Tech Trading will offer a solution for the 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells that were distributed by BowFlex Inc., previously recognized as Nautilus Inc.”

Consumers who find that they have a recalled dumbell set that they bought from Johnson Health Tech Trading can apply for a refund.

However, they will only get the money they paid for the product back in the form of a voucher.

Shoppers can instead arrange a free replacement from the company if they prefer.

To qualify for the refund or replacement, the dumbbells must have been purchased from April 23, 2024 onwards.

In the interim, customers who purchased these units from BowFlex Inc. (earlier referred to as Nautilus) prior to the specified date are eligible to request a refund through a prorated voucher.

They can also get a free one-year JRNY digital fitness membership.

This has been criticised by consumer experts with recalled products typically giving back full refunds in cash or as a direct payment.

“Consumers should be able to receive their money back in full, no strings attached,” Gabe Knight, a senior policy analyst at Consumer Reports said.

A refund claim form can be filled out here.
