Bowflex Recalls Nearly 4 Million Adjustable Dumbbells
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." NEARLY 4 MILLION of the popular Bowflex SelectTech 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells have been pulled from the market after more than 100 people became injured while using them. Johnson Health Tech Trading, which acquired Boxflex's assets after the company filed for bankruptcy in March 2024, has received 12 reports of the dumbbells' plates dislodging during use, according to a recall notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Nautilus, which was Bowflex's previous owner, received 337 reports of plates dislodging during use, including 111 that led to injuries like concussions, abrasions, broken toes, or bruises, according to the notice. Before these reports, our thorough testing had found the SelectTech 552s to be the best value adjustable dumbbells, but we have since updated our buying guide. If you own these popular adjustable dumbbells, it's fair to have questions. Here's what you need to know. The Bowflex 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells are being recalled. The dumbbells were sold in pairs and single units in the black colorway and have handles, weight plates, and a molded plastic tray. The 552 dumbbells adjust from 5 to 52.5 pounds, while the 1090 dumbbells adjust from 10 to 90 pounds. Both dumbbells use manual adjustment knobs to change the weights. The model and serial number of the recalled dumbbells are printed on a sticker on on the bottom of the molded plastic tray. These are the specific serial numbers on the BowFlex 552s, according to the CPSC: 00182M243902233 00182M243902592 00182MAG220200463C 00182MAG221204535C 00182SFE213414844C 00182SFE234002231C 100182M242800001 100182M250201440 100182MAG20431227C 100182MAG233500372 100182P244100067 100182P244602976 100182SFE213709609 100182SFE235206276 100748M243200001 100748M244300252 100748MAG222400734 100748MAG23500660 100748P242900001 100748P245205632 100748SFE220908785 100748SFE233513811 X00748MAG233003670 X00748MAG233003672 X00748SFE233202493 X00748SFE233203161 Z00748MAG233003670 And these are the impacted serial numbers for the Bowflex 1090 adjustable dumbbells: 4551MAG21452813 4551MAG23350381 4551SFE23320001 4551SFE23501949 The dumbbells were sold at Johnson Fitness & Wellness, DICK'S Sporting Goods, and Best Buy stores across the country. You also might have picked them up online at and from 2004 through May 2025. They had cost between $200 and $800. If you have the recalled dumbbells, CPSC recommends that you stop using them and contact Johnson Health Tech Trading. You can fill out a form at or go to and click 'Recalls' at the bottom of the page. If you'd rather speak with someone, you can call Johnson Health Tech Trading at 800-209-3539 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. CT Monday through Friday. Here's where things get slightly confusing. If you purchased your dumbbells after Johnson Health Tech Trading acquired the company (i.e. after March 2024), you can receive a refund of the purchase price in the form of a voucher, or a replacement for your dumbbells. If you bought your dumbbells before that, you can request a pro-rated voucher and a one-year JRNY digital fitness membership. You'll be sent a pre-paid shipping label to return the handle and base for each returned dumbbell. "We are working diligently to reach owners of the 552 and 1090 dumbbells—regardless of whether the units were purchased from the now defunct Nautilus or from our company," Johnson Health Tech Trading told Men's Health in a statement. "We stand behind the integrity of our products and remain committed to supporting our customers throughout their fitness journey," the statement continues. "A proactive and broad initiation of this voluntary recall is consistent with our fundamental mission to serve consumers with high-quality and durable fitness equipment." Johnson Health Tech Trading has developed "new and improved" versions of the 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells, the company said in a statement. These new models, the BowFlex Results Series 552 SelectTech Dumbbells and the Results Series 1090 SelectTech Dumbbells are a replacement option for Johnson Health Tech Trading customers and will be available soon. (The company currently has a waitlist that people can sign up for.) If you bought your dumbbells from Nautilus, you can use your prorated refund voucher toward these new dumbbells when they become available. If you'd rather branch out and try something different, these are our favorite adjustable dumbbells that we've tested and recommend.

Bowflex's popular adjustable dumbbells were just recalled — here's how to tell if your are impacted
When it comes to home gyms, there's almost no better space-saving solution than adjustable dumbbells — they can turn nearly a dozen individual dumbbells into one. Unfortunately, some of the most popular adjustable dumbbells from Bowflex were just recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission because weight plates can be dislodged from the handles during use and pose an impact hazard. Here's everything you need to know about the recall, plus some alternative adjustable dumbbells to consider. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. Why were BowFlex SelectTech 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells recalled? Approximately 3.8 million Bowflex Selecttech 552 and 1090 adjustable dumbbells have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission because the weight plates can dislodge from the handle during use, posing an impact hazard. You can see a full list of impacted models and see if yours is affected on the official recall page. If you own one of the models listed, you should stop using it immediately and contact Johnson Health Tech Trading for a refund voucher or replacement units, depending on the model number and purchase date. Most of the recalled products were sold by BowFlex Inc. (formerly Nautilus Inc.), which filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2024. BowFlex was acquired by Johnson Health Tech Trading company in April of 2024, which issued the voluntary recall. BowFlex Inc. (formerly Nautilus Inc.) received 337 reports of plates dislodging during use, including 111 resulting in injuries such as concussions, abrasions, broken toes or contusions. Johnson Health Tech Trading has received 12 reports of the plates dislodging during use with no injuries for units it sold. For full details on how to handle a recalled unit, you can call Johnson Health Tech Trading toll-free at 800-209-3539, email recall@ or go to the Bowflex product recall page. I use these adjustable dumbbells for all my at-home workouts. They're especially useful for anyone who lives in a small home. One big difference between these and the Bowflex SelectTech is size: the Nordictrack only lifts the plates you are currently using, without taking any empty slots with it, keeping a more compact form factor as you workout. These are some of the best adjustable dumbbells you can get, according to multiple fitness experts. You can make adjustments in 2.5 pound increments, more than many competitors. It's available in 40, 60, 80 and 100 pound versions. These editor-favorite 50 pound adjustable dumbbells can be adjusted in five pound increments by twisting the handle. Each dumbbell has rounded plates that get wider as they get heavier, and it comes in an aluminum stand. Why trust NBC Select?
