Myx Fitness recalled the MYX II bike after 864 pedal-detachment reports and 75 injuries

In November 2022 Myx Fitness recalled the MYX II, its connected stationary bike built around a 21.5-inch swiveling touchscreen for streaming workouts, in Canada and the United States. The notice said the pedals 'can become detached if not properly installed, posing a scrape, bruising, or fall hazard.' As of 16 October 2022, Canadian consumers had filed 25 reports of pedal detachment, four with injuries such as falls or bruises; in the United States the company had received 839 reports, 71 of them with injuries from falls, bruises, scrapes or cuts.

The recall covered 3,531 bikes sold in Canada and 79,429 in the United States between February and October 2022. Myx told riders to stop using the bikes until the pedals were tightened per instructions sent by email, and to schedule a free in-home repair for any pedal that had already detached and not been repaired by the company.

3,531 bikes sold in Canada and 79,429 in the US recalled; 864 pedal-detachment reports and 75 injuries across both markets; free in-home repairs.

Detachment reports piled up within the eight-month sales window — 864 across two countries in under a year on the market.

Seventy-five riders were already hurt by the time the recall was announced, most of them from falls.

The failure hinged on installation quality, so the remedy had to be in-home service, not just a parts kit or instructions.

Home-assembly fitness gear moves the final bolt of quality control into the customer's living room — when a part only stays on if installed perfectly, the defect belongs to the design, not the user.

Riders were told to stop using the bikes until the pedals were tightened per emailed instructions, with free in-home repairs for already-detached pedals. The joint recall with Health Canada and the US CPSC is the product's defining safety event; the notice published no counts beyond the 864 reports and 75 injuries.
