What went wrong
The MP2 is a wall-mounted, resistance-based strength-training machine with an adjustable arm used for full-body workouts. The CPSC says the arm doesn't lock properly, which can let it swing unexpectedly and pose a laceration or serious injury risk. Ten incidents have been reported, including lacerations to the head and bruising to the shoulder and other areas of the body.
