Amazon Basics 55 Lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells Recalled for Impact Hazard
Amazon is recalling Amazon Basics 55 Lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells because weight plates can fail to engage completely and dislodge during use, posing an impact hazard. No injuries have been reported.
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 hazard (weight plate dislodgement) is based on reports of non-engagement rather than confirmed injuries. This is a voluntary precautionary recall with eight incident reports but no harm realized, fitting the Moderate category.
Plain-English summary
Amazon is recalling approximately 2,900 Amazon Basics 55 Lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells sold between July 2025 and September 2025. The dumbbells adjust from 5 to 55 pounds using manual adjustment knobs.
