Product description
The recall includes FreeMotion Cable Cross and Dual Cable Cross Exercise Machines with model numbers GZFM6006 and GZFM6024. The recalled machines can be identified by the name Cable Cross located on the upper frame. The FreeMotion Cable Cross machines are used to exercise by pulling on cables on each side of the machine to raise a series of weight plates. The arms where the cables enter the machine can be moved through an arc using 13 position points spaced from straight down to straight up. An enclosed weight stack is situated directly in front of the user for selection of the amount of weight to be raised.
Reason for recall
