CPSC Recalls AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machines

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. 

Why the AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine Was Recalled by the CPSC

The AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine is a wall-mounted strength training system designed to deliver resistance-based workouts through a connected digital fitness platform. Marketed for home use, the device allows users to perform guided exercises without traditional gym equipment.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall of approximately 1,900 AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machines after identifying a safety issue involving the product’s operation during normal use. The recall applies to units sold directly to consumers between January and August 2025.

Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled machines immediately and contact AMP Fit to arrange a free in-home inspection and repair. The corrective action involves replacing a component within the device to ensure it functions as intended.

Defective Locking Mechanism Poses Laceration and Impact Injury Risks

The AMP MP2 Smart Fitness Machine relies on a locking mechanism designed to secure the device’s movable arm during resistance-based exercises. According to the CPSC, this mechanism can fail to fully engage, allowing the arm to swing unexpectedly while the machine is in use.

When a locking mechanism fails under load, users are placed at risk of sudden impact injuries, deep lacerations, and loss of balance during exercise. In this case, the unexpected movement of the arm has been linked to injuries involving the head, shoulders, and upper body.

The CPSC and the manufacturer have reported at least 10 incidents in which the arm failed to lock properly, resulting in cuts and bruising. These types of mechanical failures are especially dangerous in home fitness equipment, where users often assume the device will remain stable and secure throughout their workout.

Injury Risks Linked to Defective Smart Fitness Equipment

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.

Injuries involving defective home fitness equipment have become increasingly common as more consumers rely on complex, wall-mounted, and digitally integrated exercise systems.

Product Liability Lawsuits Involving Recalled Fitness Equipment

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:

• Consumer trust in home fitness machines often leads users to exercise without supervision.

• Sudden mechanical failures can occur without warning and cause severe injuries.

• Medical treatment and lost income may follow injuries caused by defective equipment.

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.
