CPSC Recalls AMP Smart Fitness Machines

CPSC Recalls AMP Smart Fitness Machines Due to Laceration & Serious Injury Hazards

In a safety alert announced on December 18, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of the AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine due to serious injury risks related to its locking mechanism. The recall affects approximately 1,900 units sold directly to consumers and underscores the importance of product safety in home fitness equipment — especially as more people invest in smart exercise systems for daily workouts. 

What Happened? The Recall Explained

The recalled product — the AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine — is a wall-mounted strength training device that provides full-body resistance workouts and integrates with a digital fitness platform for personalized training. However, the arm on the MP2 model does not reliably lock into place during use, which can allow it to swing unexpectedly. This malfunction poses a serious risk of laceration or other severe injuries to users who are actively working out on the machine. 

The CPSC and the manufacturer have reported 10 incidents in which the arm failed to lock properly, resulting in cuts and bruising to the head, shoulder, and other parts of the body. Although no deaths have been reported, these injuries highlight how quickly a fitness device that appears safe can become dangerous without proper safeguards. 

Consumers who purchased one of the affected AMP Smart Fitness Machines are urged to stop using the device immediately and contact AMP Fit to schedule a free in-home inspection and repair. The remedy involves replacing a part inside the shoulder cap of the locking mechanism to ensure it fully engages and prevents unexpected arm movement.

Why This Recall Matters

Products like smart fitness machines are often marketed as safe, convenient alternatives to gym equipment — ideal for home use and designed to integrate seamlessly with digital workout programs. However, the complexity of these devices means there are moving parts and mechanical risks that must be carefully engineered and tested.

When a component fails — especially one designed to lock under load — the consequences can be immediate and severe. Users can experience deep cuts, impact injuries, strain from sudden falls, or even more serious harm if the equipment behaves unpredictably during exercise.

This recall serves as a reminder that consumer products, no matter how advanced or well-advertised, can pose unexpected hazards. Following CPSC guidance and acting promptly when recalls are issued can help prevent injuries and protect your family.

What KBD Attorneys Wants You to Know

At Ketterer, Browne & Davani, LLC, we closely monitor product safety recalls and alerts from the CPSC because dangerous products don’t just cause injuries — they can upend lives. Fitness equipment recalls like this one are especially concerning because:

• Users trust that home fitness machines are safe for regular use, often without supervision. 
• Mechanical failures can happen suddenly, with little warning and severe consequences. 
• Injuries may require medical treatment, rehabilitation, or time away from work. 

When a recall is issued, it means a product was found to present an unreasonable risk of injury, even under normal use. If you or a loved one has been injured by a recalled product like the AMP Smart Fitness Machine, there may be legal options to pursue compensation — including for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost income, and long-term care needs.

Product injury law often examines:

• Whether the product was defectively designed or manufactured. 
• Whether proper warnings were provided to consumers. 
• Whether the manufacturer failed to meet reasonable safety standards. 

KBD Attorneys has experience helping people injured by defective consumer products, including exercise equipment, household machinery, toys, and more. Our team can help you understand your rights and the legal steps available to you. A recall does not automatically create liability, but it can be a powerful piece of evidence in a product safety case.

What You Should Do If You Bought One

If you or someone in your home purchased an AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine from January through August 2025, here’s what to do:

1. Stop using the device immediately. 
2. Contact AMP Fit to schedule the free inspection and repair by an authorized technician. 
3. Keep proof of purchase, recall notices, and communications — these documents could be important if injuries occur. 
4. Seek medical attention for any injuries, even if they seem minor at first. 
5. Consult an experienced product liability attorney to explore your legal options.
