Wisconsin-based Johnson Health Tech Trading Inc. is recalling around 3.84 million units of dumbbells due to a risk that “weight plates can dislodge from the handle during use, posing an impact hazard,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a June 5 statement.

The recall applies to BowFlex-branded Model 552 (52.5 lb.) and Model 1090 (90 lb.) adjustable dumbbells. BowFlex, formerly Nautilus Inc., filed for bankruptcy in March 2024. Johnson Health Tech bought BowFlex the following month.
