About 50,000 adjustable dumbbells sold at Walmart have been recalled after reports of injuries, federal safety officials said.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said the FitRx SmartBell Quick-Select 5-52.5 lb. Adjustable Dumbbells, made by New York-based Tzumi Electronics, should be immediately replaced.
According to the agency, the weight plates can dislodge from the handle during use, posing an “impact hazard.”
