Cybex Recalls 19,000 Treadmills

WASHINGTON (AP) ― About 19,000 Cybex treadmills, made in the U.S. by Cybex International Inc., have been recalled because the treadmills can speed up unexpectedly due to a malfunction with the lower control board, posing a fall hazard to consumers.

The company has received 24 reports of the treadmill unexpectedly increasing speed, including six reports of consumers falling. Three of those incidents resulted in minor injuries.

The recall includes the Cybex 445T, 455T, 530T, 450T, 500T, 515T and 520T treadmill models. The product was sold at Cybex International and Cybex dealers nationwide from January 2001 through September this year.

For additional information, contact Cybex toll free at (866) 897-9199 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. EDT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.Cybexintl.com
