A mother is suing the fitness company Peloton, claiming its exercise bike killed her son inside his Brooklyn home.
During his routine, as Furtado was getting up from the floor using the equipment for leverage, the bike ‘spun around and impacted him on his neck and face severing in his carotid artery in his neck killing him instantly.
’Furtado’s death is not the first involving a Peloton bike. In 2021, a 6-year-old was killed after being dragged by a treadmill while a 3-year-old suffered a ‘brain injury’ during a similar incident. The model involved in those incidents, the Peloton Tread Plus, has since been discontinued. In May, Peloton issued a recall for over two million exercise bikes across the nation due to safety concerns, Breitbart News“The recall applies to approximately 2.2 million units of the Peloton Bikes Model PL01 sold in the U.S. from January 2018 until earlier this month,” the outlet continued: The safety concern revolves around the potential risk of the seat post assembly breaking during use, which could result in falls and injuries. Peloton has reported 35 incidents of seat post breakage and detachment, leading to 13 reported injuries, including fractured wrists, lacerations, and bruises caused by falling off the bike.
