This recall involves the PowerBlock Commercial Pro 100 set, which includes a Pro Rack Stand, two adjustable weight plate sets, a pair of 10 lb grip handles, and a pair of 5 lb grip handles. The grip handles allow users to add or remove weight plates using a manual selector pin. The affected 5 lb grip handles can be identified by their black design with a knurled grip and a silver decal that identifies weights in increments of 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, and 95 lbs. Only the 5 lb grip handles included with the Commercial Pro 100 set are included in this recall.
Weight plates above 55 lbs included in the set can dislodge from the 5 lb grip handles, posing an impact injury hazard to the user.
