This recall specifically targets the FitRx SmartBell Quick-Select 5-52.5 lb. Adjustable Dumbbells, model number 8361.

Affected serial numbers range from KK23288361 to KK23388361 and KK207608361 to KK21347836.

This dumbbell is designed to be adjustable from 5 to 52.5 pounds, with adjustments in 2.5 or 5-pound increments.

The dumbbell is black with red accents and comes with a molded plastic storage tray.

The "FitRx" logo can be found on the dumbbell handle and the storage tray.

For easy identification, the model number and product serial number are printed on the side of the unit's storage tray.

The dumbbells were sold in Walmart stores nationwide and through the Walmart.com online platform.

Sales lasted for almost a year, from January 2024 to November 2024, with an average selling price of approximately $100 per unit.

The primary reason for Walmart's recall of the FitRx dumbbells is that the weight plates on the dumbbells can detach from the handles during use.

This creates a serious impact hazard, which could result in injury to the user or bystanders.

The CPSC has firmly stated that this design defect poses an unacceptable safety risk.

To date, the CPSC has received more than 115 incident reports involving plates detaching from the dumbbells.

Of these, at least six cases of injury have been confirmed. Reported injuries range from broken toes and bruises to contusions and lacerations.

Serious impact hazards can occur suddenly, without warning, so immediate preventative action is essential.

Consumers who own the recalled FitRx SmartBell Quick-Select Adjustable Dumbbells should immediately discontinue use.

Continued use of these dumbbells could endanger themselves and others.

Consumers are also encouraged to contact Tzumi Electronics Inc., the importer of this product, for a free replacement of the dumbbells and tray.

Consumers can contact Tzumi Electronics toll-free at 866-363-2237 Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET, or by email at smartbellrecall@tzumi.com.

As part of the recall procedure, consumers are also instructed to write the word "Recalled" on the dumbbell tray using permanent spray paint or a marker.

Consumers must then register at https://myfitrx.com/recall-52-lbs/.

Once registration is confirmed, the barbell can be discarded.
