Description

Fitness Gear Inversion table (Style STE00059FG or Style STE00118FG), Distributed by ASLI, Wilmington, DE (on carton), Paradigm Health & Wellness, Inc. (in user manuals); The products are inversion tables, which allow the user to secure his or her ankles to the table and invert. The products were intended to be fitness equipment; i.e. consumer products.

Reason

Reports of customers falling from the Inversion Table and sustaining injuries. The Inversion Table is a fitness product, not a medical device. DSG removed medical claims from product labels and advertising.

Action

DSG sent emails and medical device correction notices, dated December 2014, to consumers who made purchases online and retail store consumers for whom DSG has contact information via its Scorecard customer loyalty program. DSG also posted the recall on their web site and notified their retail stores with instructions to post notices in DICKs stores. DSG plans to remind stores approximately monthly for three months to display the recall poster, beginning one month after the recall announcement. Consumers were asked to return the product to the stores where they were purchased for a full refund. A Press Release, dated January 8, 2015, was also issued about the recall.

Distribution
