Nautilus Inc. is recalling 78,000 of its Bowflex Ultimate 2 Home Gyms because of the dangers that seat rails will unlatch. 
At least 18 people have been injured so far, with some customers suffering cuts to their heads and shoulders; some of the cuts required stitches.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the gym’s horizontal seat rail, if not manually latched for storage, can fall on a user or bystander, causing the injuries. The government agency said Vancouver, Wash.-based Nautilus (NYSE: NLS) has received 18 reports of injuries so far.
The Chinese-made gyms were sold from June 2005 through January for about $2,300. This is the second Bowflex recall in the past two-and-half years.
