Is my product affected?

Bowflex Power Pro XL, XTL and XTLU systems with the "Lat Tower" attachment

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

The Bowflex Power Pro XL, XTL, and XTLU fitness machines with the "Lat Tower" attachment are subject to recall due to two safety hazards. The backboard bench can unexpectedly collapse and break when the machine is in the incline position, and the "Lat Tower" can rotate forward and fall during use. Both defects pose a risk of injury to users.

Consumers who own these recalled machines should immediately stop using the backboard bench in the incline position and the "Lat Tower" attachment. Because the manufacturer is no longer in business, no recall remedy is available. Consumers should discard the product and must not donate or resell it.
