AMP Fit Smart Fitness Machine Recall: Laceration and Serious Injury Claims
Smart fitness machines have transformed how people work out at home. Many consumers purchase connected exercise equipment expecting advanced safety features, smooth operation, and reliable performance. When these machines malfunction, however, the consequences can be serious especially when moving parts, resistance systems, or cables fail unexpectedly.
In 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall involving AMP Fit “AMP” Smart Fitness Machines due to reported laceration and serious injury hazards. According to the recall notice, certain components of the machine may pose a risk of users being cut, struck, or otherwise injured during normal use.
If you or a loved one were injured while using a recalled AMP Smart Fitness Machine, you may have legal options. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin represents individuals nationwide who were harmed by defective or recalled consumer products, including exercise and fitness equipment. This page explains the AMP Fit recall, the types of injuries that may occur, and what steps injured users may want to consider.
What Is the AMP Fit Smart Fitness Machine Recall?
According to the CPSC, AMP Fit recalled its AMP Smart Fitness Machines after reports indicated that users could suffer lacerations or other serious injuries while using the equipment. The recall notice explains that certain aspects of the machine’s design or construction may expose users to sharp edges or dangerous movement during operation.
The AMP Smart Fitness Machine is a connected strength-training device designed for in-home workouts. It allows users to perform resistance exercises through guided digital programs and adjustable resistance mechanisms. These machines were marketed as modern, space-saving alternatives to traditional gym equipment.
The CPSC advised consumers to stop using the recalled machines immediately and to contact AMP Fit for instructions regarding repair, modification, or other corrective action.
Why Fitness Equipment Defects Can Be Especially Dangerous
Unlike many household products, fitness machines are designed to be used during physical exertion. Users may be pulling, pushing, or lifting against resistance while standing, kneeling, or lying close to the machine. When a component fails or behaves unpredictably, injuries can happen quickly.
Defects in smart fitness equipment may lead to:
- Unexpected movement of arms, cables, or resistance components
- Exposure to sharp edges or pinch points
- Loss of balance while under load
- Sudden release of tension or force
Because users often trust the machine to guide their movement, a malfunction may leave little time to react.
Types of Injuries Linked to Defective Fitness Machines
Injuries associated with recalled or defective fitness equipment may include:
- Deep cuts and lacerations
- Hand and finger injuries
- Facial or head injuries
- Muscle tears or strains
- Broken bones
- Crush or pinch injuries
- Back, shoulder, or joint injuries
Some injuries may require stitches, surgery, physical therapy, or long-term rehabilitation. In certain cases, scarring or permanent impairment may result.
Who May Be Most at Risk From the Recalled AMP Machine
Anyone using a recalled AMP Smart Fitness Machine could be at risk, but certain users may face heightened danger:
- Individuals performing high-resistance exercises
- Users following guided workouts that move quickly between exercises
- Beginners unfamiliar with the machine’s mechanics
- Users working out alone without supervision
- Household members, including children, who may be nearby
Because these machines are often placed in homes rather than gyms, injuries may occur without immediate assistance available.
Product Liability and Fitness Equipment Injury Claims
Injuries caused by recalled or defective fitness machines may fall under product liability law, which allows injured consumers to seek compensation when a product is unreasonably dangerous.
Potential legal theories may include:
Design Defect
If the AMP machine’s design exposed users to sharp edges or unsafe movement during normal use, a design defect claim may apply.
Manufacturing Defect
If certain machines were improperly manufactured or assembled, leading to unsafe conditions, this may support a claim.
Failure to Warn
If users were not adequately warned about injury risks or proper safe use, failure-to-warn claims may be relevant.
Negligence
Manufacturers have a duty to exercise reasonable care in designing, testing, and selling consumer fitness equipment.
A recall can help demonstrate that a product posed a safety risk, though injured users typically must still show how the defect caused their injuries.
What To Do If You Were Injured by an AMP Smart Fitness Machine
If you believe a recalled AMP Smart Fitness Machine contributed to your injury, consider taking the following steps:
- Seek medical attention immediately, even for cuts or strains
- Stop using the machine and follow recall instructions
- Preserve the machine and all components if possible
- Take photographs of injuries, the equipment, and the surrounding area
- Save receipts, manuals, and recall communications
- Write down what happened while details are still fresh
- Consult an attorney to discuss your legal options
Prompt documentation may help protect your rights and strengthen any potential claim.
Compensation That May Be Available
Depending on the facts of your case, compensation in a fitness equipment injury claim may include:
- Medical expenses and follow-up care
- Physical therapy or rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages or time away from work
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring or permanent injury
- Future medical treatment needs
The value of a claim depends on the severity of injuries and the impact on your daily life.
