Precor has agreed to provide treadmill owners with replacement heart rate chest straps to resolve defective product class action lawsuit claims against them.

The settlement will benefit consumers who purchased Precor treadmills (models 9.23, 9.33, 9.27, 9.35, TRM 211, TRM 243, TRM 223, TRM 425, or TRM 445) between May 16, 2010 and Dec. 26, 2018 (for residents of California, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey or New York) or between Dec. 26, 2014 and Dec. 26, 2018 (for all other state residents).

Plaintiffs Gary Mednick and Steven Bayer each filed separate class action lawsuits against Precor in 2014, claiming that the company sold treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes, and other products with defective touch sensor heart rate monitors. These two Precor class action lawsuits were consolidated later on.

In 2016, Mednick and Bayer amended their complaint to focus more narrowly on treadmills after their Class certification motion was denied. They claimed that Precor made false representations about their treadmills’ heart monitoring capabilities. In March 2017, the plaintiffs secured Class certification.

Since the plaintiffs were given Class certification, they have reportedly been negotiating with Precor to seek a settlement. They two parties finally reached an agreement to resolve these claims.

The settlement provides different heart monitor chest strap benefits based on the treadmill model purchased. Model TRM 223 and TRM 243 owners can receive a Precor treadmill-compatible heart rate chest strap. Model 9.23 and TRM 211 owners can receive a Bluetooth-compatible heart rate chest strap. Model 9.27, 9.33, 9.35, TRM 425, or TRM 445 owners can receive one year extended warranty on the heart rate chest strap that came with their treadmill.

In order to receive benefits from the settlement, Class Members need to file a valid claim by Sept. 11, 2019. Treadmill serial numbers will be used to verify claims.

The deadline for exclusion and objection passed on May 13, 2019. The final approval hearing for the settlement was held on June 12, 2019.
