Exercise Bands Recalled Due to Risk of Injury from Striking
In a case of product liability, the company EB Brands in Yonkers, NY has had to recall roughly 29,700 of its Everlast Resistance Stretch Tubing and Everlast Pilates Stretch exercise bands citing a malfunction in the tubing which can cause the bands to break and strike the user. The recalled bands were reportedly sold between March of 2010 and December of 2010.
Product safety and product liability is a significant issue that unfortunately can plague many companies. Many products have been known to malfunction in one way or another, sometimes causing very serious injuries to users in the process. The most dangerous and widely publicized case of product safety and liability is the Toyota motor vehicle recall that has gone on for several months. While this incident does not describe a case of motor vehicle recalls, it is nonetheless a serious hazard.
Product safety and product liability are two concerns that every company should be well aware of and while all companies usually take several precautions and steps to ensure the safety of their products, sometimes products slip through the cracks undetected. Announcing a recall of these products is one of the best ways to avoid injury to consumers and provide a more quality product as well.
