January 24, 2013 by ModernMom Staff Leave a Comment

About 75,600 Perfect Resistance Bands have been recalled by Implus Footcare due to injury hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Why the product is being recalled: The bands can detach from the mesh cloth loops posing an injury hazard to the user and those in the vicinity. So far 12 incidents were reported, 11 to the firm and one to CPSC, including injuries to the back, hand and eye. 

Description: The Perfect Bands are rubber tubes connected through a hole and secured by grommets to cloth sewn into loops. The bands can be used alone or in conjunction with optional handles, which are sold separately. The bands are approximately 40 inches long and are used for exercises described on the product packaging card and in a Workout Chart available on line on the product website. “Perfect Fitness” is printed on a tag on the cloth loop. UPC codes can be found on the package.
