Peloton acknowledged “a child died while using the Tread+” machine, adding that it was “shocked and devastated” to learn of the death. That child was expected to make a full recovery, Peloton said. “The importance of following Peloton’s safety warnings and instructions is abundantly clear in the video,” Peloton said, referring to the video shared by the commission. The company added that Peloton instructs its customers to remove the machine’s safety key when not in use to avoid such incidents. “It’s clear that the Peloton Tread+ must be recalled,” Mr. Blumenthal said.
