Plain-English summary

Bollinger Fitness is recalling Classic and SoftTouch resistance bands with door attachments, model numbers 5771, 5772, 5773, 5774, and 5775. The recall involves approximately 60,000 units sold in the U.S. and 3,000 in Canada. The 4-foot-long bands are made of gray rubber with gray, red, black, or blue accents and feature black foam handles. A 5-inch nylon webbing strap with a plastic ball serves as the door anchor. The Bollinger Fitness logo appears on the handles, and the model number is located on the product packaging.

The recall was issued because the black plastic ball attached to the door anchor can unexpectedly release and strike the user, posing an injury hazard. There has been one report of the door anchor ball releasing, resulting in an injury to the user.

The affected products were sold at Fred Meyers, Marshalls, Modell's Sporting Goods, T.J. Maxx, and other retailers nationwide and online from July 2012 through March 2014 for between $9 and $14. Consumers should immediately stop using the door attachment and contact Bollinger Fitness to receive a free replacement door attachment with free shipping.
