On January 21, 2010, Johnson Health Tech North America announced a recall on the Horizon Fitness and LIVESTRONG™ Fitness Elliptical Trainers due to fall hazard when the foot pedal can become disengaged. There were about 18,000 elliptical trainers affected by this recall.  So far, there have been 58 incidents of pedal disengagements reported, but no injuries have resulted.

The recalled models and serial numbers are listed below.

These elliptical trainers were sold at sporting goods stores nationwide and online at www.livestrongfitness.com and www.dickssportinggoods.com between October 2009 and November 2009.  If you own one of these elliptical trainers, you should stop using it and call Johnson Health Tech NA (800) 962-3596 immediately to schedule a free in-home replacement of the defective pedals.
