Cybex International Leg Press
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
The weight platform locking mechanism can fail and the backrest can disengage during normal use, posing a risk of injury to the consumer.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
