Plain-English summary

Dynamic Classics, Ltd. is recalling approximately 35,000 Exer-Climber and Promo-Stepper spring exercisers sold nationwide from April 1989 through December 1990. The recall is due to a risk that the springs may break during use, causing parts of the spring to strike the user's foot.

The company has reported 82 injuries to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), including bruises, lacerations, and fractures. The affected products are stair-climber type devices consisting of two springs attached to black foot pedals and mounted to a metal A-frame. The retail price was approximately $45.00.

Consumers should immediately stop using these exercisers if the springs do not have metal brackets attached to both ends. Dynamic Classics is offering a free retrofit kit that provides springs with metal brackets to prevent over-stressing and breaking. Consumers can call 1-800-284-8492 or write to Dynamic Classics, Ltd., 95 Mayhill Street, Saddlebrook, NJ 07662 to obtain the kit.
