An urgent recall has been issued for thousands of adjustable dumbbells sold at Walmart stores and online across the United States, following 115 reports of the weight plates dislodging during use. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced that Tzumi Electronics is recalling approximately 50,000 units of its FitRx SmartBell Quick-Select 5-52.5-lbs. Adjustable Dumbbells.
Recall Details and Risks
The dumbbells, which were sold for $10 at Walmart stores nationwide and on Walmart.com from January 2024 to November 2024, have been linked to at least six injuries, including broken toes, bruises, contusions, and lacerations. The affected products have model number 8361 and serial numbers ranging from KK23288361 through KK23388361 and KK207608361 through KK21347836. The set includes handles, weight plates, and a molded plastic storage tray, all featuring a black color scheme with red accents.
Customer Instructions
Consumers who own the recalled dumbbells are urged to write “Recalled” across the tray using permanent spray paint or a marker, and then register their product on the FitRx recall website. Once registration is confirmed, customers can safely dispose of the weights and will receive a free replacement dumbbell and tray.
Broader Recall Context
This recall is part of a series of product safety actions by the CPSC. Last week, over 200,000 pairs of 32 Degrees Heated Socks were recalled after multiple reports of burns. The socks, sold at Costco stores and online from August 2025 to March 2026, can pose an injury hazard when worn during high-intensity activities that generate friction, heat, moisture, and pressure. Approximately 14 incidents have been reported, with 13 involving first or second-degree burns.
Earlier this month, about 740,000 sets of Granitestone Diamond Pro Blue stainless steel sauté pans, sold at Costco, Walmart, and Amazon, were recalled. The two-piece pan sets, sold for around $40 between August 2021 and February 2026, have a metal cap on the screw connecting the pan to the handle that can detach and forcefully eject when heated. New York-based E Mishan & Sons, Inc., which imported the pans, received nearly 100 reports of the cap detaching, with one incident resulting in bruising and burn injuries.
