The exercise equipment company Peloton has agreed to pay a $19,065,000 civil penalty in a settlement for failing to report defective equipment and knowingly selling recalled treadmills.

Beginning in December 2018 and continuing through 2019, Peloton began receiving reports of injuries related to its Tread+ treadmill product. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a Thursday press release that Peloton failed to immediately report these issues.
