Fitness Quest Recall Their Eclipse 1175e Elliptical Trainers

Fitness Quest has recalled their Eclipse Elliptical Trainers as they pose a fall hazard. The cranks which connect the foot platforms to the rear wheel can break during exercise which can cause the user to fall.

Around 23,000 units of the Eclipse 1175e Elliptical Trainers have been recalled after 190 reports of cranks breaking. Luckily, there have been no reported injuries.

The trainers were sold at Sports Authority, Modell, Dunhams, JC Penney Stores and other retailers from September 2006 through to October 2007 for between $290 and $450.

Consumers have been advised to stop using the recalled elliptical trainers and contact Fitness Quest for a free replacement elliptical machine or a credit towards the purchase of another Fitness Quest exercise machine.
