About 5,500 Rogue Fitness Barbell Brackets distributed by Coulter Ventures LLC of Columbus, Ohio are being recalled.
The product was manufactured by Columbus Machine Works Inc., of Columbus, Ohio.
The weld between the bracket and the pin that holds the barbell bracket in place on a weightlifting rack can break, causing the weights to fall, and posing an injury hazard to consumers.
The firm has received three reports of the weld between the bracket and the pin breaking, including one report of a consumer who received a sprained wrist.
The recall involves Rogue Fitness J-Cup brackets used to hold barbells on weightlifting racks. The black metal brackets are used with the Rogue Fitness SPX Squat Press Stand, R-3 Racks, R-4 Racks and Infinity Rigs.
The items were sold Rogue Fitness's website, www.roguefitness.com from March 2009 through December 2010 for about $40. They were also sold as part of weightlifting racks and stands for between $350 and $3,400.
