Washington (dbTechno) - EB Brands fitness balls have been voluntarily recalled due to the fact that a defect has been found, which has created a falling hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the voluntary recall this week, involving millions of these fitness balls.
The fitness balls from EB Brands were sold under different name brands, including Valeo, Bally Total Fitness, Everlast, and Body Fit Fitness Balls.
It is believed that the balls in question were sold between May 2000 and February 2009.
There are no particular colors or anything of that nature to the balls that give the defected products a distinct quality.
Instead, it is believed that all of the fitness balls sold carry the defect and pose a health hazard.
The issue takes place in regards to inflating the ball, and the company is working to remedy this by supplying new instructions to help consumers.
There have been nearly 50 reports submitted to EB Brands that the balls would inflate too much, and end up bursting.
The balls would burst as soon as they were put into use, causing the user to fall to the ground.
