Plain-English summary

Rep Fitness LLC is recalling approximately 1,940 PR-4000 (SKU No. PRA-4120) and PR-5000 (SKU No. PRA-5122) Strap Safety Brackets. The recall is due to a hazard where improperly welded brackets may detach from the weightlifting device if a large amount of weight is suddenly dropped onto the Strap Safeties. The brackets are black and attach to the weight lifting posts of a squat stand to keep the strap safeties in place. The straps and heavy-duty bolts are not part of the recall and should be retained.

The company has received three reports of the brackets breaking under sudden weight, though no injuries have been reported. The affected brackets were sold exclusively online at www.repfitness.com from April 2020 through December 2020 for between $120 and $150.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled brackets and contact Rep Fitness for a free replacement. Rep Fitness is directly contacting all known purchasers. Consumers can also reach the company toll-free at 888-201-8019, by email at [email protected], or online at www.repfitness.com.
