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

What happened

The CPSC and Fitness Quest Inc. have announced a recall of Ab Lounge™, Ab Lounge™ 2, and Ab Lounge™ Ultimate exercise machines due to a finger entrapment hazard in the hinges. When consumers open or fold these machines, their fingers can become caught, potentially causing lacerations, crushing injuries, or amputation to fingertips. This hazard does not occur during normal exercise use. The recall applies to specific serial number ranges: Ab Lounge™ machines (ALX-000001 through ALX-037999, and those starting with 03 44 through 04 36), Ab Lounge™ 2 machines (AL2X-000001 through AL2X-059060, and those starting with 04 03 through 04 36), and Ab Lounge™ Ultimate machines (those starting with 04 28 through 04 34). The serial number can be found on a label on the bottom of the front frame. Machines with straight brackets that do not fold are not included in this recall.

Because Fitness Quest Inc. is no longer in business, no repair remedy is available. Consumers who own a recalled Ab Lounge machine should discard the product and must not donate or resell it.
