The company said it received seven reports of equipment breaking, resulting in six lacerations. One incident required the consumer to receive stiches, another required the consumer to receive staples.

Customers have been urged to immediately stop using the recalled Ethos Pull-Up Assist and return it to the nearest DICK's Sporting Goods store for a full refund.

The product was sold at DICK'S Sporting Goods stores nationwide and online from March 2017 through February 2019 for around $35.
