Jumpking has received nine reports of weights falling off handles, including five consumers who received injuries such as bruising, a broken nose, and a broken toe.
Remedy
Consumers should examine their dumbbells to make sure the weights on both ends are tightly secured to the handle. If they are loose, contact Jumpking to obtain instructions on how to receive the free repair kit.
