Plain-English summary

Titan Manufacturing and Distributing Inc. is recalling approximately 970 Titan weight lifting safety straps with steel mount brackets. The recall involves straps with model numbers 24T3STRAP, 26T2STRAP, 30X3STRAP, 36T3STRAP, X2STRAP24, 24X3STRAP, and 36X3STRAP. These straps are designed to catch weights if a user drops them during exercise.

The recall is being issued because the stitching in the straps can come loose, causing heavy weights to fall on consumers. This poses an injury hazard to the weight lifter. Titan has received one report of a strap breaking when subjected to moderate weight and is aware of three other reports of strap failures. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled safety straps were sold online at Amazon.com, eBay.com, Sears.com, Walmart.com, and www.Titan.fitness from August 2017 through March 2018 for between $75 and $100. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled straps and contact Titan for a full refund or free replacement straps. Titan is contacting all known purchasers directly.
