April 17, 2009 -- EB Brands is recalling about 3 million fitness balls -- those large, inflatable balls that people use for crunches and other exercises -- after getting 47 reports of fitness balls that burst because of overinflation.
Reported injuries related to the recalled fitness balls include a fracture and bruises.
The recall includes fitness balls sold in 55, 65, and 75-centimeter diameter sizes in various colors with the Bally Total Fitness, Everlast, or Valeo logos printed on the balls, which were sold nationwide from May 2000 to February 2009 for between $15 and $30.
Don't head to the store to try to return the fitness balls.
Instead, contact EB Brands to get a copy of the updated instructions on how to safely inflate the ball.
Call EB Brands at 800-624-5671 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern time Monday through Friday or visit the company's web site.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has a photo of the fitness balls.
