Plain-English summary
Cybex International Inc. is recalling approximately 430 model 16110 plate-loaded leg presses used in commercial gyms. The recall is due to a defect in the weight platform locking mechanism, which can fail and cause the backrest to disengage during normal use, posing a risk of injury to the consumer.
The affected leg presses have a metal frame and an adjustable backrest, with the name "Cybex" located on the outer left side of the upper frame. The serial number label is found on the lower main frame near the floor and ranges from D072216110 through G091416110. These units were sold by authorized Cybex dealers and distributors nationwide from July 2009 to September 2012 for about $4,035.
Cybex has received four reports of incidents involving these machines, but no injuries have been reported. Commercial locations should immediately stop using these leg presses until they order and install a free repair kit. Cybex International is contacting its customers directly to provide the repair kit.
