Fitness Resistance Band Recall
January 25, 2013, by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.
Approximately 76,000 Perfect Resistance Bands are being recalled after it was discovered that the bands can detach from the mesh cloth loops, posing an injury hazard to the user and anyone standing nearby.
Made in China and imported by Implus Footcare, LLC, the Perfect Bands are rubber tubes connected through a hole and secured by grommets to cloth sewn into loops. Sold exclusively at Wal-Mart and online, the bands came in purple, gray, or black.
Twelve incidents have been reported and include injuries to the back, hand, and eye, though none were serious.
Consumers are being instructed to immediately stop using the product and contact Implus Footcare for a refund or replacement product.
