I received a recall notice for a set of BowFlex 552 adjustable weights (copy included) that I purchased for $400+ and they are not offering to replace or repair the defective unsafe product that has caused over 100 injuries to people, only to give a very small voucher to repurchase another set and have to spend another $400+ on something I already purchased that was supposed to last forever. This is ridiculous. I want a full refund or a full replacement, not some ridiculously inadequate voucher to spend even more money on their products. This is criminal!!!Business Response

Thank you for expressing your concerns about this voluntary recall. We want to be transparent about why different remedies are available through this voluntary recall for customers depending on when the dumbbells were purchased. Customers who purchased a BowFlex 552 or 1090 dumbbell prior to April 23, 2024 from ************* (a.k.a. ************) are being offered a prorated voucher rather than a replacement or full refund voucher.
Heres what we are doing and why we are doing it:
The original company that sold the product prior to April 23, 2024, **************, went bankrupt. That company no longer exists.
That bankrupt company, ********, designed, manufactured, and sold these dumbbell sets prior to filing for bankruptcy in 2024. We were not involved in any aspect of the products ******** made and sold prior to April 23, 2024.
*********** acquired some of that bankrupt companys assets last April through the bankruptcy processbut we did not buy the company or its liabilities. We did not assume any responsibility for past sales or issues with the products ******** made and sold.
We did not make any money from 552 and 1090 dumbbells sold by ******** before it went out of business. Simply put: we had no involvement with the design, manufacture, or sale of these dumbbells prior to April 23, 2024.
We are stepping up to provide the pro-rated voucher to U.S. consumers who bought recalled dumbbells from a bankrupt company, even though we have no obligation to do so. Offering this voucher is a good-faith gesture from our company to help U.S. consumers replace the producteven if they bought recalled dumbbells from ******** several years ago. Making this extra effort fully aligns with our companys commitment to helping our customers lead *********************** lives.
We encourage all customers to participate in this recall to obtain the remedy we are proactively making available through this voluntary recall.
We are doing our best to support the affected customers of bankrupt ************** in a meaningful way. Please visit our website, **************************************, for additional information about this recall.

This company has submitted a recall for a faulty product. They are attempting to weasel their way out of replacement, refunds, and repairs and instead will only offer you a measly 20 dollars from your 300+ dollar investment.This is a joke, and should be treated as such. I would highly recommend avoiding investing any type of money with this company or any of their subsidiaries, as if a product you purchase proves to be dangerous in the future they will do the bare minimum to help you while you feel screwed over in the end.Business Response

This situation was only resolved once you got involved! Had I not filed a complaint with you, I am more than certain that I would have received yet another delay in my warranty replacement.

I'm quite dissatisfied with Johnson Health Tech Tradings handling of the recent safety recall concerning their dumbbells, which I purchased for nearly $400 about four years ago. I am currently being offered a $60 voucher as a remedy, a proposal I find wholly unacceptable.The companys handling of this recall represents a clear abuse of the process, transforming a potential safety issue into an opportunity for profit. Specifically:- Inflated Voucher Value: The $60 voucher is a disproportionately small compensation for a $400 purchase and does not cover the cost of a replacement set, which now costs $429.- Misleading Depreciation Argument: The notion that these dumbbells significantly depreciate within four years is inaccurate and unjust, particularly given the safety concerns.- Exploitative Practices: This approach forces consumers to pay an additional $334 to replace a potentially dangerous product a completely unreasonable and unethical practice.I am aware of numerous similar complaints online, reflecting a widespread frustration with this company's response. I request Johnson Health Tech Tradings handling of this recall be investigated and a real remedy be provided. The current one does not provide a safe or equivalent product.Business Response

I placed an order for a Bowflex treadmill on 6/7/2025 for a total of $1508.76. When it arrived at my home on 6/12/25 the package was damaged in shipping and i refused delivery. The shipper took photos of the damage and returned the product to his truck. I reported all this to customer support right after it happened.On 6/24/2025 I received an email from Bread Pay (where I financed the purchase) indicating I had received a partial refund back to my account for $1404.44 minus the amount for the original shipping charge. I still had a balance of $106.92 on my account.I contacted customer support and was told and I quote: " **** *.

I submitted a warranty request for my Bowflex Max ******* M16 in May 2024, during the period when ******* was being sold. I waited through the transition and then reached out to Johnson Health, who confirmed they would still honor existing warranties.The part that brokea major boltsnapped in half unexpectedly and could have caused a serious injury. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but this was a significant safety issue and made the equipment unusable.I was initially told I was one of the first ****** to submit a warranty claim during this transition and would be one of the first to receive the replacement part. Initially, I was told it would arrive within 68 weeks. When that timeframe passed, I followed up and was told to expect another delay due to supply issues.Since then, I have reached out monthly (or every other month based on the updated timeline), and Ive continued to receive the same vague response: the part is still not in stock. The last message I received from a supervisor stated that they will no longer provide an estimated ship date because they know they cannot honor it.Meanwhile, its been over a year, and my Max ******* M16 has been sitting completely useless the entire time. No other resolution has been offeredjust repeated requests for me to continue waiting. What makes this even more frustrating is that new ******* products are available for purchase and ship immediately, yet customers with valid warranty claims are being left without support.I have been more than patient throughout this process, but it has gone on far too long. I am requesting a concrete and reasonable timeline for the replacement part to be shipped or a comparable resolution such as a replacement product or a refund. I deserve a timely, fair, and safe resolution after waiting this long.Business Response

On June 5th, 2025 ******* issued a recall (******) for their Bowflex 552 Dumbbells due to weight plates dislodging from the handle during use, posing an impact hazard. Per the ************************************************, this hazard has caused injuries, the US CPSC states: Johnson Health Tech Trading has received 12 reports of the plates dislodging during use with no injuries for units it sold. Nautilus received 337 reports of the plates dislodging during use for units it sold, including 111 resulting in injuries such as concussions, abrasions, broken toes or contusions. Per Bowflex's recall, for units purchased prior to April,23rd, 2024, are only offered a "prorated refund voucher to be put toward the purchase of products available on *********** and a one-year complimentary subscription to our JRNY Fitness App." but does not offer replacement of the faulty and dangerous product. The prorated refund voucher amount I was offered for the set of dumbbells I purchased (Set Serial Number ********************* was $75, and redeemable only at ***********. This is significantly less than the $389 that I paid for the dumbbells and significantly less than $429 price for a replacement set on ***********. ******* has sold faulty and dangerous dumbbells and now seeks to profit from it by directing their customers to return their dumbbells only to have to purchase for near full retail price again. Bowflex should be required to replace all faulty sets of dumbbells with corrected units or refund the full purchase price, in cashBusiness Response

I ordered a product from this company 2/20/2021 (adjustable dumbbells for our home gym). I recently received notification of a safety recall on this product, posing a safety hazard with use. The company did not offer a replacement or cost-effective solution to address the safety concern; they offered a prorated coupon to their company to purchase additional products instead. Due to the nature of this being a safety recall, it seems a tangible solution should be presented by the company, separate from just a "prorated" coupon to purchase more product from them without directly addressing the safety issue itself.Business Response

I order a pair of Bowflex 552 on Jan *******. On June 5, 2025 I received an email that there is a recall on the dumbbells and to contact customer service for a claim. I tried calling on Friday June 7, and after staying on hold for 4 hrs, the call ended. I called today June 11, and after 1 hr the *** initiated a claim. He added my information for the claim ( serial number etc) and after completing it, he was telling me that I would be getting a voucher for 125$. I was asking if I have the option to get a full refund or what are the available options, but the call got disconnected. I didnt receive a call back or an email. In fact, I got an automated email w the claim information, and realized he entered my serial number incorrectly even though I had sent him a picture of my serial number and also read it to him on the phone. This is poor customer service. Also, if its a recall, shouldnt it at least be ***laced? I paid around 500$ for my items , so giving me a voucher for something thats a recall and their problem is unacceptable. I dont even want to own or work w this company, and want a full refund. Im currently on hold for over an hour again to speak with a *** to notify them of the error the last *** entered. ******** customer serviceBusiness Response

A statement from Johnson Health Tech Trading, regarding the BowFlex 552 & 1090 Dumbbell recall announced on Thursday, June 5, 2025.
Thank you for expressing your concerns about this voluntary recall. We want to be transparent about why different remedies are available through this voluntary recall for customers depending on when the dumbbells were purchased. Customers who purchased a BowFlex 552 or 1090 dumbbell prior to April 23, 2024 from ************* (a.k.a. ************) are being offered a prorated voucher rather than a replacement or full refund voucher.
Heres what we are doing and why we are doing it:
The original company that sold the product prior to April 23, 2024, **************, went bankrupt. That company no longer exists.
That bankrupt company, ********, designed, manufactured, and sold these dumbbell sets prior to filing for bankruptcy in 2024. We were not involved in any aspect of the products ******** made and sold prior to April 23, 2024.
*********** acquired some of that bankrupt companys assets last April through the bankruptcy processbut we did not buy the company or its liabilities. We did not assume any responsibility for past sales or issues with the products ******** made and sold.
We did not make any money from 552 and 1090 dumbbells sold by ******** before it went out of business. Simply put: we had no involvement with the design, manufacture, or sale of these dumbbells prior to April 23, 2024.
We are stepping up to provide the pro-rated voucher to U.S. consumers who bought recalled dumbbells from a bankrupt company, even though we have no obligation to do so. Offering this voucher is a good-faith gesture from our company to help U.S. consumers replace the producteven if they bought recalled dumbbells from ******** several years ago. Making this extra effort fully aligns with our companys commitment to helping our customers lead *********************** lives.
We encourage all customers to participate in this recall to obtain the remedy we are proactively making available through this voluntary recall.
We are doing our best to support the affected customers of bankrupt ************** in a meaningful way. Please visit our website, **************************************, for additional information about this recall.
