Which BowFlex products are affected?

What to do if you own these BowFlex dumbbells

Needless to say, stop using the recalled dumbbells immediately. Even though Johnson Health Tech Trading is proactively reaching out to all known purchasers directly to inform them of the recall, you should not wait to hear from the company. The impact hazard poses a serious safety risk that could result in injury during use. Simply do not attempt to continue exercising with these dumbbells, even if they appear to be functioning normally.
