For units sold by BowFlex Inc. (formerly Nautilus Inc.), consumers can request a refund in the form of a prorated voucher and a one-year JRNY digital fitness membership. Consumers will be sent a pre-paid shipping label to return the handle and base for each returned dumbbell. Johnson Health Tech Trading is contacting all known purchasers directly.

Earlier this year, Johnson Health Tech America was slapped with a lawsuit after a customer claimed the solution for 12,000 recalled Matrix indoor cycles was insufficient. The company is not currently facing legal action over the BlowFlex recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.
