Recall alert: 50K adjustable dumbbells recalled - WFTV
There have been more than 115 reports of the weight plates dislodging during use.
www.wftv.comHere’s the latest I can share on the Tzumi FitRX dumbbell recall.
- Overview: A recall of FitRx SmartBell adjustable dumbbells has expanded in 2025–2026 due to safety concerns that weight plates can dislodge during use, posing injury hazards. The recalls have involved tens of thousands of units sold primarily through Walmart (later identified as roughly 50,000 units in 2026 reports).[1][3][7]
- Injuries and reports: Regulators and media have documented dozens of complaints and multiple injuries linked to plate dislodgement, including bruises and lacerations, prompting replacement or repair programs.[7][1]
- Actions for consumers: Consumers should stop using recalled units immediately and follow the recall instructions for a free remedy, typically a replacement dumbbell handle and storage tray or other corrective parts, depending on the specific recall notice. If you already own a FitRx unit, check the model and serial details against the recall notices and register for the approved remedy with the issuer (CPSC or the manufacturer).[9][7]
Would you like a quick checklist tailored to your exact unit (model number, serial range, where you bought it) and the current remedy steps? I can also pull the official recall notices and provide direct links if you share your location or preferred retailer.
