The 17-page lawsuit was filed after the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of FitRx SmartBell XL Quick-Select 10-90 lbs. adjustable dumbbells, model 9034, with serial number KK23289034.

Per the CPSC’s announcement, the products were recalled because the weight plates can dislodge from the dumbbell handle during use and drop onto users, posing a serious risk of injury. As of the March 20 recall, there have been more than 60 reports of weight plates dislodging, which have been linked to at least seven injuries, the CPSC relays.

The class action suit alleges the recalled dumbbells are defectively designed and “unreasonably dangerous.” Nevertheless, the manufacturer failed to warn consumers that the equipment, which was sold exclusively on Walmart.com from September 2023 through June 2024, posed an inherent risk of serious injury, the filing contends.

Furthermore, the case claims the company’s offer to repair the dumbbells is an insufficient remedy for consumers who bought the products.

“[Tzumi’s] Recall, which includes a free fix-and-repair clause requiring [the company] to repair and replace the faulty parts, does not offer any reasonably foreseeable guarantee that the Dumbbell Defect will go away permanently,” the complaint says. “Rather, the Recall mentions installing a new dumbbell handle and storage tray, but mentions no testing or assurances that such repairs will solve the issue fully.”

The filing argues that consumers relied on the representation that the adjustable dumbbells were safe to use and would not have purchased them had they known the products posed a potential safety hazard.

The Tzumi lawsuit looks to represent all United States residents who purchased the recalled FitRx SmartBell XL Quick-Select adjustable dumbbells.
