Peloton’s Tread+ and Tread: 5 alternatives to recalled treadmills
NordicTrack, Bowflex among treadmill options amid Peloton recall
BMO Capital Markets managing director Simeon Siegel discusses the impact of Peloton's treadmill recall.
With Peloton issuing a voluntary recall on its treadmill products, consumers may find themselves looking for alternatives to the running equipment.
The connected fitness company on Wednesday issued an apology for waiting to recall its $4,295 Tread+ and its $2,495 Tread, around 125,000 units in total, weeks after the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) urged users to stop using the equipment.
