PowerBlock Commercial Pro 100 Weight Sets with 5 lb Grip Handles Recalled
PowerBlock is recalling about 1,845 Commercial Pro 100 weight sets sold with 5 lb grip handles because weight plates above 55 lbs can dislodge during use, posing an impact injury risk.
What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the impact injury hazard is contingent on weight plate dislodgement. Although four reports of slipping plates exist, the absence of actual injury combined with a precautionary recall profile places this in the Moderate category per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
PowerBlock Inc. is recalling the Commercial Pro 100 adjustable weight set when sold with 5 lb grip handles. The recalled 5 lb grip handles are black with a knurled grip and a silver decal marked with weight increments (5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, and 95 lbs).
Weight plates above 55 lbs included in the set can dislodge from the 5 lb grip handles during use, posing an impact injury hazard to the user. PowerBlock has received four reports of weight plates slipping beyond the handle, though no injuries have been reported to date.
