CPSC, Total Gym Fitness LLC Announce Recall of Exercise Equipment Sold by TV Infomercials

To operate the exercise equipment, consumers lie on a glideboard that rolls on an inclined track as the user pulls the hand cords. The Total Gym XL home exercise equipment has a double rail system that attaches to a support column at a degree of incline selected by the consumer. A glideboard slides on the rails. The consumer lies on the glideboard and, using a pulley system, pulls the glideboard from the ground to the support column with their own body weight, providing the resistance. The recalled exercisers are black and chrome and have 'Total Gym XL' written on the glideboard.
