Plain-English summary

ICON Health & Fitness, Inc. is recalling about 16,700 Epic T60 treadmills. These are 2004 models in silver and gray with black handrails, identified by model number EPTL81804 on a decal on the front frame. The treadmills were sold at Costco Wholesale stores nationwide between September 2004 and February 2005 for between $899 and $999.

The recall is due to a hazard where the gas spring/shock can be damaged during assembly if the walking platform is folded up beyond the vertical position. This damage can cause shock parts to be propelled out, potentially hitting a bystander and causing injury. ICON has received two reports of minor foot injuries and five reports of minor property damage.

Consumers should contact ICON Health & Fitness toll-free at (800) 999-3755 between 8:00 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit www.iconfitness.com.
