Peloton is recalling 833,000 of its Original Series Bike+ exercise bikes because the seat posts can break, potentially causing riders to fall off, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warned on Thursday. The maker of internet-enabled fitness equipment has received three reports of the seat posts detaching from the bikes during use and two reports of riders suffering injuries, according to a recall notice.

Anyone who has this Peloton stationary bike model should stop using the bike immediately and Peloton will issue a free seat post that is can be self-installed. The recalled bikes have a PL02 model number and serial numbers that begin with T.
